Apple held a press conference this morning and unveiled a digital tablet slated as the flat messiah for floundering industries and frustrated technophiles everywhere.

Wired and Endgadget live-blogged about it, Jezebel made period jokes (iTampon is #2 trending topic on Twitter), and Gizmodo put up galleries, demos and 8 reasons they already hate it.

Ladies and gentlemen... the iPad.

From medicine to publishing, from education to music, for the media creators and the media consumers, Steve Jobs' newest offspring is the long awaited thin mint after years of speculation dinner. Moses presented the people with a tablet once too -- that went over ok. Let's see how this one fares.

The "magical" product will be available in March but you can sign up here to be notified when the its available to order. Either that, or get in line now.
