Netbooks aren't better at anything. They are slow, they have low quality displays and they run clunky old PC software. So they are not better than a laptop at anything. They are just cheaper. They are just cheap laptops. And we don't think they're a third category of device. But we think we got something that is. And we'd like to show it to you today for the first time. And we call it the Ipad.

It's so much more intimate than a laptop and it's so much more capable than a smartphone with its gorgeous large display. So this is the lock screen. I unlock it. The icons fly in. Let's go right to the web. So here we are at . And I'm just gonna go to Safari. I just touch the bookmark's icon and touch the New York Times, let's say. And here we are, right at the New York Times. You see how fast it is! And I can just swirl around here. And look at the whole front page of the New York Times. Now if I want to reply to a message or go and send a message, I just hit a compose button here, and up pops this gorgeous keyboard. Now there we go. It's that simple to do email on the Ipad.

Let's go to Youtube. And I'm going to pick a clip called "Wet and Woofy" that I know is in High-def on Youtube. Here it is. And again I can even go full-screen here, going to landscape. Yeah, that's all from Youtube. Isn't that incredible? All right. And that's Youtube again. Here's related clips and more from that person. And again whether turn portrait or landscape, it just all works.

I have to say though, watching it is nothing like getting one in your hands and feeling all of that just right in your hands and right underneath your fingertips. So let's go back to the hardware a little bit. The Ipad is really thin. It's a half and inch thin. And it weighs just 1.5 pounds. That is thinner and lighter than any netbook. And it's got a gorgeous, 9.7 inch IPS display, super high quality display, using IPS technology so you get great angle of view as well, very high quality display. And as you know, Apple builds the best, capacitive multi-touch sensors in the world, marry to a great display, it's terrific. Super-responsive, super-precise. Ipad is powered by our own custom silicon. We have an incredible group that does custom silicon at Apple. We have a chip called A4, which is almost the advanced chip we've ever done. It powers the Ipad. It's got processor, the graphics, the I/O, the memory controller, everthing in this one chip and it screams. And you can have 16, 32 or 64 gigabytes, a flash storage inside the Ipad.

It's got the latest and wireless networking, Wi-Fi 802.11n and the latest Bluetooth 2.1. And the usual suspects: accelerometer, compass, speaker, microphone. It's got a 30-pin connector, so it plugs the whole equal system of Ipod accessories. And it's got battery. What is the battery like of this remarkable devise? We've been able to achieve ten hours of battery life. It's 1.5 pound devise. 10-hour battery's like between...I can take a flight from San Francisco to Tokyo and watch video the whole way on one charge. It's pretty nice. And in addition to 10 hours battery life, it has over a month of stand-by life. So we can just set the Ipad down, goes to sleep automatically, walk away and come back in a month and it still has a charge.
