Apple say the iPad is a 'magic and revolutionary' product but already the device is being ridiculed by bloggers and industry insiders.

Company chief Steve Jobs launched the iPad amid great hype on Wednesday and claimed the device would plug the gap between laptops and mobiles.
But, alarmingly for the company which has always been the darling of the 'geek' community, the sentiment on the web was distinctly underwhelmed and immediately sparked a wave of ridicule.

There was disappointment that the iPad, available in Britain in March, had failed to live up the hype.

Bloggers have been quick to poke fun at the 'revolutionary' iPad, saying it looks similar to an oversized iPhone
