Is it just a regular tablet? What OS does it run? Is it free? Can I change it to GNU?
You can find quite a bit of information about it here: http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/apple-ipad-the-definitive...
Is it just a regular tablet?
It's an iPhone with a huge screen, on steroids ;-)
What OS does it run?
As far as information like this is available before launch, it will probably run a custom version of the iPhone OS.
Is it free?
As you might understand, the iPad itself isn't free. The software on it is (very) probably propietary.
Can I change it to GNU?
In time, it will probably be possible to run a *nix distribution on the iPad, just as you can run these on playstations, xboxes, wifi routers etc.
