Q&A: Does the iPad have external speakers, and can you also plug headphones into it?

Question by Jay: Does the iPad have external speakers, and can you also plug headphones into it?
I’ve been thinking about getting an iPad. I was wondering if it had any sort of external speakers (or like the iPhone, doesn’t, but still can project sound)? And also if you can plug a regular headphone jack into it. It seems like it would be pretty thin (I’ve never used an iPad) so it seems kind of like regular headphones wouldn’t be able to plug into it.
Thanks!
How is it not portable? It looks super portable.

The iPad has a speaker built-in. It’s along one edge, just to the right of where you’d plug it in or dock it. On the opposite edge, there is a headphone jack. So it plays sound just on it’s own without any accessories (and pretty well too), or you can plug in external speakers or headphones as you wish.
