If you’ve been surfing the net for the last half hour (current time: 1:50 p.m.), the latest buzz in the world wide web is the launch of Apple’s latest gadget, the iPad Tablet.

The iPad has many of the same features that are available on an iPhone, MacBook and even a smart phone. It’s capable of email, web browsing, photos, videos, and most importantly, iBooks.
In reality, the iPad is just a shiny new toy for many Apple lovers out there, but for the $499 price tag, some may find it hard to justify buying one if they currently use Apple products.
I’m curious to see how iBook sales will affect the publishing industry, and whether newspapers are finally able to make money off of their content through the iPad. I guess we’ll have to wait to find out!
