Apple ipad announcement

Steve Jobs announced the apple ipad today. This is a handheld computer device. He showed how you can view websites, email, play games and read books on it. It has a virtual keyboard and you can navigate websites by touch.
This new technology will definately have an impact on students and teachers. It seems to me that it will enter classrooms in the way of text books and as personal computers. It is small (only weighing 1.5 pounds) which will make it easy to carry.
Since books, newspapers and magazines are becoming less popular using this ipad will make a different avenue for the information that we usually get from the newspapers, books and magazines.
