iPad Apple tablet announced

Apple has finally announced a tablet

. It may not be quite what we expected, but we'll be in line to grab the newly minted

when it sees release at the end of March. Sean Carruthers and Andrew Moore-Crispin discuss the

iPad announcement

.

Is the iPad a "Kindle killer"

as some pundits would have us believe?

Will the iPad out netbook netbooks?

Andrew and Sean dispel the hype and let you know whether, at first blush, it's worth the price of entry.
