[ NNSquad ] iPad tech spec and design pages / plus SD and GPS clarifications


iPad tech specs: http://bit.ly/ayuSGn  (Apple)

iPad design page: http://bit.ly/diSmhK  (Apple)

Clarifying a couple of points.  The 3G version of the iPad has GPS (as
would be expected as part of typical 3G requirements) and can locate
using either assisted-GPS or cell triangulation.

The non-3G version apparently does *not* have GPS.  Since it has no
cellular connection, it cannot do cell triangulation either
(obviously).  It can do Wi-Fi geolocation, to the extent that is
useful.

The iPad does not have an integral memory slot.  An accessory
(added-cost) hardware plug-in will provide photo access via USB and SD
card.  My Apple source is unsure if the USB bandwidth available
through this device will reasonably support video streaming or not.

Enough iPad for now.
