This morning, Apple announced its “latest creation.”
It’s called the Apple iPad.
You can check it out over at Apple’s site here.
You can read Engadget.com’s coverage of the event here.
Some Steve Jobs quotes from the event (via Engadget.com):
“So all of us use laptops and smartphones. The question has arisen — is there room for something in the middle? We’ve wondered for years as well. In order to create that category, they have to be far better at doing some key tasks; better than the laptop, better than the smartphone.”
“What kind of tasks? Browsing the web. Doing email. Enjoying and sharing pics. Watching videos. Enjoying music. Playing games. Reading ebooks.”
“If there’s gonna be a third category, it has to be better at these tasks — otherwise it has no reason for being.”
“Now some people thought that was a netbook — the problem is that netbooks aren’t better than anything!”
“We think we’ve got something that is better. And we call it the iPad.”
“The iPad is the most advanced piece of tech that I’ve ever worked on at Apple.”
