It was widely accepted that the iPad looks
like a larger version of the iPod Touch,
designed to replace conventional laptops
or smaller notebooks.
With a bigger screen, the power of a
laptop and the portability of an iPhone,
people will be able to watch movies, play
music, read books and surf the web.
Publishers are reportedly looking to
the machine to start an explosion in
ebook and electronic magazine and
newspaper sales - just what the iPod
did for the music industry and the
iPhone for the telecom sector.
