artsyHANDS is back after a three day downtime and we’ve got news for ya, Apple’s latest creation: The iPad!

The most important things first: it has a ~10″ screen, it operates like the iPhone (software-wise), starts at the utterly amazing (though eventually disappointing) 499$ and is quite fun to use, but has its fairshare of shortcomings.

We won’t be informing you of the specs and details. You can check out Redmond Pie and iThinkDiff for that! This post will enlist what’s good, bad and ugly about the iPad.

jason bourne ultimatum conspiracy supremacy identity“Sorry beta, but I just can’t let you start driving the car yet. At least, until you get into a professional college. I don’t want you growing wings just yet. ” - Baba
