If you were having trouble deciding on which case to buy for your iPad, here’s one more to think about. Case-Mate is debuting the Venture case for the iPad, and this one even comes with an included stand. The multi-function Venture looks like a smart, black portfolio on the outside with its polyurethane material and green lining. But the cover also folds over into a prop stand, which should be especially useful when you want to watch movies hands-free on your desk or even that little tray-table on the back of the seat in front of you on an airplane.

One of the latest contenders to step up to the iPad is the OpenTablet 7, a 7-inch touchscreen tablet that supports Flash-based applications and includes HDMI output and dual cameras. At 9 x 5 inches, with a 0.59 inch-thick body, the OpenTablet stays pretty close to the iPad form. You also get the same 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 2.1 support offered by Apple, along with a built-in speaker, microphone, cellular connectivity, and a headphone jack. A microSD card slot is the only storage on the device. The backbone of the system is Intel’s Moorestown Atom processor, engineered specifically around the needs of smartphones and tablets. The 7-inch screen used by the OpenTablet 7 is an LED-backlit TFT LCD that advertises multitouch support, but stops short of declaring whether it uses capacitive technology (like the iPad and iPhone) or the more common (less responsive) resistive screen.

Steve Jobs finally unleashed a brand new Apple product, the iPad. As expected, it is a slate tablet running on a similar OS as the iPod touch and iPhone, and sporting a multitouch display with a single home button.
Apple iPad specifications:
* Custom 1GHz Apple A4 processor
* 9.7-inch multitouch capacitive display
* 16/32/64GB SSD
* 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, accelerometer, integrated compass
* Optional 3G
* 10-hour battery life

Of particular note is the screen, which uses IPS (in-plane switching) technology. This is normally found in high-end monitors, which offers extended viewing angles and rich colors. iWork is also available, though you’ll need to fork out US$9.99 for each app (US$30 for the full package). The starting price for the 16GB iPad without 3G connectivity is US$499, US$599 for 32GB and US$699 for 64GB. The 3G versions cost US$130 more.
