So has anyone actually been able to find the Viewable Image Dimensions? I am try to compare the size to another product.

TIA

I converted the pixel dimensions (1024x768) to 9.56" x 7.47", but don't quote me, I'm old and feeble

I cut out a piece of paper to those dimensions and it looks correct. I stare at my 'paper screen' in anticipation of April third - IM

PS - I've already started formatting photographs for the iPad, hope I'm right....

Well

Well the bad news is that your pictures my be wrong. The 1024 x 768 is right but if you look at the link Apple - iPad - View the technical specifications for iPad. your dimensions are dead on for the physical size but not the viewable area.

It looks more like 7.75 x 5.82 and that concerns me a bit. I used Screen Aspect Ratio & Dimension Calculator to determine these numbers based on Apple Spec that it is 9.7 diagonal. But I know pictures can be deceiving but it looks so much larger.

Math is fun....

You are right about 7.76 x 5.82 because you can find the Diagonal measurement by using the Pythagorian Theorem to solve for the 3rd side of a right triangle and it equals 9.7 inches.:ipad-front:

No need to format pictures for it anyway - iTunes is going to "optimize" them for you when you sync anyway.

Huh? That is for an iPod. There is no such option in iTunes for the iPad.

Moreover, why the heck is THIS thread being revived....
