Steve Jobs with iPad

Apple's Steve Jobs just revealed the name of the company's new tablet: Ladies and Gentleman: Meet the iPad.

The rumors were true. Apple is releasing a tablet computer. You'll be able to pick one up in 60 days.

According to Steve Jobs, the iPad is better than a laptop at "browsing the web. Email. Photos. Videos. Music. Games. eBooks."

Stay tuned for more information on what the must-have tech device can do, what it will cost and what it all means!

What do you think of the name?

Be sure to watch Attack of the Show on G4 this evening at 7PM (EST) for even more Apple reaction, discussion and madness.

    I love how Im watching Leo Laporte and this live show they are doing right now and are praising it to hell, even though it is completely over priced for what is inside the iPad and how its just an oversized iPod Touch. This is the same guy that complained when the Zune HD came out that 16GB and 32GB wasnt enough memory, and now hes praising the iPad for its 16, 32 and 64GB memory and him saying, and i quote,"...and really, isn't 16GB enough for everything you'll need the (iPad) for".

    MY GOD...Im sorry Jobs. This is a complete fail and has nothing that an actual computer tablet should be. Your own iPod Touch says "Hi".

    That's the name I was hoping they'd choose. I heard it was supposed to be called an iSlate. That was a bad name.

    Apple is using their own chip to run the IPad, which will most likely make it a little pricey. Should have used a off the shelf Intel Chip (i.e. Atom) to keep the cost down.

    ok so we will now have the invention of the backpack typing....awsom. and ontop of that we also have the ipad where we will need the accessory the iperiod. but they would probably call it the "i." yea seriously they need to stop with their "i" universe its all redonculous.

    Side not and main point. Why and when did consumers say that i need a touchscreen bt i dont need the laptop. No seriously, this is the biggest gimmeck that you could ever make. No gaming ability (WoW) and no real use when are trying to not pay attention in class i.e. like i am now. Yea truely an epic fail.

    Was everyone around the boardroom table at Apple completely blind to how stupid that name is, Has anyone ever seen that old FOX show The Loop, where the one executive tries to name the airline Jack Air and the slogan was "Jack It To Paradise"
