Apple today published iPad guided tours on their website. The videos focus on Safari, Mail, Photos, Videos, YouTube, iPod, iTunes, iBooks, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers.

There isn’t a whole lot of new information here, but the videos do show an integrated search feature, brightness control, and dictionary in iBooks and a special keyboard for writing formulas in Numbers.

After watching these videos I’m even more certain that the iPad is going to be the simple laptop replacement that I’ve always wanted. This device is everything that I need it to be. Off the top of my head I can’t think of a single thing I use my MacBook for that I won’t be able to do on the iPad.

The iPad is a big deal.
