A clear plastic cocoon protects the iPad’s delicate screen and scratch-prone brushed aluminum back.

The minimal packaging is classic Apple: Very white, very neat, very clean. The iPad’s sparse documentation is hiding under this tab. But it won’t tell you much. Need info? Go to Apple’s Web Site

A 10W power adapter is included. You can detach the USB cable to attach the iPad to your computer for syncing.

The iPad is dominated by its beautiful 9.7-inch LED-backlit IPS touch-screen display, which features 1024-by-768-pixel resolution, and is surrounded by a 1-inch wide black border. Below the screen, you’ll find the only physical control on the iPad’s face, the familiar Apple Home Button, which, when pushed, will whisk you back to the iPad’s home screen.

The iPad’s rounded backed and screen frame is constructed from brushed aluminum à la iMac or MacBook Pro.

The 1.5-pound iPad measures 9.56 by 7.47 by 0.50 inches (HWD). At just half-an-inch deep, you can easily stash it into a bag and tote it around all day without becoming hunched over.

If you’re not into full-time, on-screen typing, Apple sells an optional $69 physical keyboard, which is basically the bundled iMac keyboard with a 30-pin connector to dock the iPad.

The iPad’s on-screen keyboard isn’t bad—especially when you use it in landscape mode—but if you plan on using iWork on your iPad, or any other application that requires heavy text entry, you might want to pick up the keyboard dock for easier, faster typing.

If you have an iMac, you’ll recognize the cleanly designed Apple keyboard. But this keyboard isn’t wireless like iMac’s. And you can’t use the Magic Mouse (or any Bluetooth mouse for that matter) with the iPad.

The back of the dock helps to angle the keyboard slightly and has a connector for the power adapter and a line out so you can hook up a set of powered speakers.

The Keyboard Dock charges your iPad when it’s docked. The biggest drawback? You can’t dock the iPad horizontally.

Apple’s $39 case is, of course, emblazoned with the Apple logo, and it helps protect your iPad from life’s inevitable scratches and bumps. If you want to make a more exciting statement, you can pick up any number of colorful covers at a third-party manufacturer like iSkin, Kensington, or M-Edge.

Sliding the iPad into this case is a snap, but getting it out ain’t easy and requires some tugging. But you do get a snug fit.

The case has a notch on its back so you can fold it into a stand so the iPad is propped up for video viewing on your lap, a desk, or an airline tray table.

The case stand also lets your iPad double as a digital photo frame, or in this case, a mirror.

The $29 optional 10W USB Power Adapter includes a longer 6-foot power cord.
