We’re learning more about the Apple iPad since its announcement last week, so if you’re still on the fence as to what to make of the media device, here are some basics to help break it down.

We know it looks cool, it can surf the web and display books and movies, but that doesn’t mean you should buy the first iPad available.

Pricing starts at $499 for the model coming out in March 2010. It has 16GB of memory, letting you store plenty of video, songs and games. You can double the memory (32GB) for $100 more and quadruple it (64GB) for $200 more. If you like apps, games, music, and lots of video, aim for the 32GB model.

Looks like some of the details of Microsoft’s highly-rumored and much-anticipated Windows Mobile/Phone 7, have already leaked ahead of its supposed introduction at Mobile World Congress (MWC) on Feb. 15, 2010 in Barcelona.

However, Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer and other Microsoft officials have hinted indirectly that the device will be released some time in 2010.
