Check out our video of the iPad tablet computer that Apple announced today. This video shows off the photo app capability of the device. You can see that the 9.7-inch screen is great at changing the screen fast when you swipe it. And the screen can accomodate multi-finger gestures. The iBook app also shows that the device is very cool at displaying books in color or black-and-white. Notice the cool animation when you change the page. Lastly, the video looks great at 720p resolution.
