Apple fans gathered yesterday at CityMac to await the big announcement from the “Co.”.

Most got what they hoped for with the announcement of the new iPad device that will be available beginning sometime in March.

Lot’s of folks from the media stopped in and we appreciate the opportunity to share the live blog feeds and Apple fellowship experience with our staff, customers, and onlookers alike.

Most people attending the event agreed that this new product will once again revolutionize how users interact with Apple devices and computers in general.

We don’t have a working demonstration unit of the iPad as of yet probably because the FCC has not authorized the device yet.

This from an email sent yesterday late from Apple Corporation:

“This device has not yet been authorized as required by the rules of the Federal Communications Commission. This device is not, and may not be, offered for sale or lease, or sold or leased, until authorization is obtained.”
