Though we heard persistent rumors that the iPhone would tag along for the iPad ride, neither iPhone 3.2, iPhone 4.0, or anything concerning an iPhone on Verizon were mention during the “Come see our latest creation” event.
Which, we guess, stands to reason if Apple wanted to shine the HUGE spotlight on what they hope will be their 4th business — the tablet.
It does make us wonder, however, if we’ll be seeing Apple’s traditional (for the last two years at least) iPhone 4.0 Sneak Peak event in March?
Is that why we didn’t see any multitasking or notifications during the iPad demo? No word on… Verizon? Let the rumors commence!
(What, you thought you’d get a break?)

No iPhone at Apple iPad Event. Start Rumors for iPhone 4.0, Verizon in March?
Ok, quick take: what do you think of the iPad? Is it truly the “third category” between your laptop and your iPhone? It is overblown, overpriced, and overhyped? Or is it like the iPod: something most people thought was “kind of neat” at first, but which ended up revolutionizing the consumer industry?
Vote below, but more importantly, expand in the comments: mind blown?

iPad 3G, GSM Unlocked, No Contract AT&T Pricing $15 for 256MB, $30 Unlimited
Apple Senior Vice President of Marketing, Phil Schiller, joined Steve Jobs on stage at the iPad event to introduce a new version of the company’s productivity suite, iWork.
It includes an an all-new, iPad-friendly user interface for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, with popup galleries.
It makes sense they have iWork, they’re going to want some Office compatibility and light productivity to make the case for why you’d want an iPad instead of a netbook but… TiPb still wonders how easy it will be to input significant content via the iPad. We’re willing to be convinced, we’re jut not there yet.

Apple Introduces All-New iWork for iPad
As part of their iPad announcement today, Apple introduced a new app called iBooks (hey, there’s that old name!) which they said stands on the shoulders of Amazon to go a little further.
The initial GUI looks a lot like the iPhone ebook app Classics [iTunes link]. As rumored, $14.99 for a new “hardcover” book is the selling price.
You can tap to change pages or swipe, and readers can choose their own font and size from a small list including Baskerville, Cochin, Palatino, Times, and Verdana.
It uses standard ePub format, so hopefully it will be cross-compatible with a lot of other stores and existing collections.

Apple Introduces iBooks Apps — Stands on Amazon’s Shoulders!
Scott Forstall, Senior VP of iPhone software, took the stage as part of Apple’s iPad introduction event to announce that “almost all” of Apple’s iTunes App Store iPhone and iPod touch apps will be compatible with the new, 9.6 inch device.
Users can either run them at 1x iPhone scale (320×480) or hit a 2x button and double the size. They don’t fill the screen, however, but run inside a black frame (like SD on a big HD display).
Facebook was shown as an example.
Not shown was anything approaching multitasking — no running multiple iPhone apps as windows, or even tiled side by side on the massive screen.
Forstall also announced a new SDK with iPad support would be made available today via developer.apple.com.
Games, like EA’s Need for Speed, Gameloft’s NOVA, MLB at bat (with tons of visible stats) were shown running full screen, as early iPad versions.

iPad Compatible with “Almost All” iPhone Apps
Filed under: Hardware, Apple, iPhone
With today's announcement of the iPad, we heard about a new SDK for developing apps. We also heard, though, that the iPad will be capable of running all current iPhone apps without modification, downloaded straight onto the tablet from a built-in App Store. Either you can run apps normal sized on the larger screen, or, using pixel-doubling, iPhone-native apps can run full screen on the iPad. Apple has already rewritten all of their own apps using the new SDK (which will be available for download today on Apple.com), and I'm sure we'll start seeing tablet-driven development from iPhone developers immediately. A few companies, including EA, Gameloft, and the New York Times, have already gotten a head start on iPad development and showed off a few apps in the event earlier today.iPhone apps will run on the iPad originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Wed, 27 Jan 2010 13:39:00 EST.

As widely expected, Apple’s “latest creation” is a tablet device called… the iPad! It looks like a giant, wide, iPod touch with a gorgeous display and enough graphics power to throw around HD video and handle very slick UI elements without any hint of lag.
Also shown off were Maps (including street view), iTunes LP and iTunes Extras, and Email, Calendar, and iPod functions that look like the iPhone but with a massive functionality boost from the Mac side, including pervasive use of popups.
It will run virtually all iPhone apps, unmodified. Pixel accurate, or via pixel doubling. iPad specific SDK ships TODAY!
Images after the break, more as this develops!
