I’d like to thank Engadget and gdgt for the images they uploaded throughout the event

And now its all over, thats the end of it! So there you have it, the iPad, what we’ve all been so eager to see over the past few months, I’ll have a round up of everything shortly

“We’ve always tried to be at the intersection of technology and liberal arts — we want to make the best tech, but have them be intuitive. It’s the combination of these two things that have let us make the iPad.”

Over 125 million accounts, 3 stores, App Sore, iTunes and now iBook over 12 billion downloads

Full finger typing on a touchscreen device, I wonder how we will find that to use

The Wi-Fi models of the iPad will be available world wide in about 60 days, with 3G models arriving in 90 days

Cheering! “At $499 a lot of people can afford an iPad. 16GB is our base model. For 32GB it’s $100 more, and for $100 more than that you get $64GB. The 3G models cost another $130.”
Two awesome plans. The first is up to 250MB per month — a fair bit of data, most people will get by on that — for just $14.99.
Great offers available from AT&T for roaming and data

“I’d like to talk for a minute about iTunes. The iPad syncs over USB with iTunes exactly like an iPhone or iPod touch. So when you sync, you sync everything. Photos, music, movies, TV shows, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, apps…”

iWork apps costs $9.99 for apps
Now playing a slideshow of images
They really have reworked the iwork interface for the iPad

iWork for the tablet reworked and new UI
Looks nice and easy to use,
change the page by tapping left or right or simply swipe – Simple!

Apple has its very own iBook store, Amazon won’t be happy


Now here comes the Ereader part iBooks
Basically allows you to watch a game with video over lays, pretty cool idea. Steves back

Next up is MLB.Com

Next up EA with Need For Speed Shift
Its a drawing and painting app for the iPad

Now we have An art app called Brushes, this is the artistic side to the tablet
Its just like reading the Newspaper, but has inline video and reading syncs to the iphone app, alot like wispersync for the kindle

Now here we go, The New York Times is up, lets see what content they have to offer us

Showing Game title called Nova – First person shooter with multitouch

Now invited Gameloft dev to show off some games

“If the developer takes the time, they can also take full advantage of the large touchscreen display in the iPad. We did that with our own internal apps, and we expect developers will want to do that too.” New SDK out today including iPad tools. But as of now all Apps straight off the App Store will work

All apps work on the iPad which work on the iPhone, by either running in a box or tapping them makes them full screen by doubling the number of pixels

Comes with 16GB – 64GB of flash memory up to a month standby time
Wow It’s 0.5-inches thin, weighs just 1.5 pounds. Thinner and lighter than any netbook. 9.7-inch IPS display

Battery Life 10 Hours!

“iPad is powered by our own custom silicon. Our own chip. It’s called the A4, and it screams.” 1GHz. 16, 32, or 64GB of flash storage. “It’s got the latest in wireless: 802.11n, WiFi, and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR.” with accelerometer, compass, speaker, mic, dock connector.

He’s just finished giving a demo of video on the iPad – Looks nice, screen is a bit more square than widescreen though

Calender App and organiser look pretty amazing, really easy to use

Now he’s in the iTunes Store, pretty nice interface, easy to use and simple to navigate, buy and preview songs on the device

Steve is now demonstrating the Photo app, can access photos on the go using iPhoto

On screen QWERTY keyboard looks nice and big, email app is very similar to the iphone

Steve is demonstrating the browser, Oh No! No built in flash support!

It has iTunes Built right into it, as well as YouTube and YouTube HD

It has the iPhone OS for certain, looks great!
