Apple’s Steve Jobs has just announced the long-anticipated tablet iPad, here is what we know so far about the much talked about device.Â

The iPad is 13mm (0.5 inches) thin and weighs 1.5lbs.  It sports a 9.7-inch IPS capacitive touchscreen.  It isn’t 16:9, despite showing widescreen high-definition films and YouTube videos.

Apple’s uses it’s own A4 1GHz chip.  There’s 16, 32 or 64GB of flash storage built-in. Interestingly, Jobs made no mention of 3G, with 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR built-in, but were sure it’s there.  Jobs pulled up his own location, suggesting the iPad has GPS, but that could just be via Wi-Fi.

Other features include an accelerometer, compass, speaker and microphone, but no cameras?!  Jobs claims 10 hours of battery life, and over a month on standby.

The iPad is slated to go on sale sometime in March.
