While you don’t get much in the way of extras in the box with the iPad, Apple sent us away with a bag full of official accessories to play with. Apple have a range of six items intended to be used with your iPad, though not all of them will be available on launch day. After the cut, check out our unboxing video, gallery and some hands-on impressions with the iPad Dock, iPad Keyboard Dock, iPad Case and iPad 10W USB Power Adapter.
The first iPad kickstand. Yes, this is just the accessory we’ve all been waiting for. Created for you-know-what by Scosche, the kickBack (as the kickstand is formally known as) is made from polycarbonate and rubber, and is able to handle and adjust to both portrait and landscape mode.

Many of the iPad rumors we heard in the run-up to yesterday’s launch turned out to be false – OLED displays, dual cameras and solar panels all come to mind – but one of the suggestions that had sounded reasonably believable was that the tablet would run iPhone OS 4.0. Last we heard, tipsters suggested that Apple had been sitting on the launch of the updated platform since it contained too many mentions of the iPad, something that would tip developers (and thus the press) that the nigh-legendary tablet was on its way.
I was fortunate to get to spend some nice hands on time with the iPad. This is a first take on my initial impressions of the device. I should have a final unit here shortly so look for a full review soon. Of course, post your questions in the comments and I’ll answer as many as I can.
There was so much information offered yesterday when the iPad was unveiled by Apple that it was a bit overwhelming. One of the key items of the iPad that didn’t get as much talk time on stage as some of the other features was the Apple A4 processor. The one thing that Apple was specific on was that the processor was its own silicon.

Certainly some of the biggest tech news this year has been the official unveiling of the iPad by Apple yesterday. The device looks pretty darn cool to me, though some complain the iPad didn’t live up to the hype. As you can imagine with any new product coming from Apple, the accessories are coming in force as well.

While we spent twenty minutes grabbing hands-on video with the Apple iPad yesterday, something we didn't get to play with were the official iPad accessories. Over at iLounge they've had better luck, giving some first impressions and pricing details for the Apple iPad Keyboard Dock, Apple iPad Case, Apple iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter and Apple iPad Camera Connector Kit.

Running as it does the iPhone OS, the iPad joins the list of Apple devices that won't play Flash content. While they're not ready to announce Flash for the platform, Adobe have confirmed that their upcoming Packager for iPhone - which will be part of Flash Pro CS5 - will indeed support the iPad along with the iPhone and iPod touch.

Apple’s iPad is official, but you can’t get your hands on one for another couple of months (three if you want integrated 3G). The next best thing, then, is lashings of video, and happily we have just that for you. Apple have put their official keynote video online, and after the cut we’ve got almost twenty minutes of our own hands-on footage.
Apple have never been impressed with netbooks - they've consistently criticized the budget ultraportables and maintained that they have no interest in producing one - but with the Apple iPad Steve Jobs basically declared war on netbooks. After opening with a snub - "netbooks aren't better at anything - they're just cheap laptops" - Jobs went on to rub salt in the wound with the launch of a 3G data plan that's half what netbook buyers are currently expected to pay.

Apple didn't just announced the iPad - they also brought along some official accessories to use with it. Two docking stands, a pair of adapters and a case will go on sale alongside the iPad, and of the four the most interesting is probably the keyboard dock. That holds the tablet in portrait orientation, and provides a full-sized Apple keyboard on which to type.

What can we say: it feels even thinner in the metal than it looks in the photos. We’ve just had a hands-on play with the Apple iPad and it’s mighty impressive. Speed and screen quality aren’t in short supply, with the tablet – that, thanks to all that metal and glass, has a reasonable heft to it – whipping through the customized iPhone OS.
