Apple unveils iPad the tablet
Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveils iPad the tablet at an event in San Francisco.
“We asked if there was room for a third category in the middle, something between a laptop and a smartphone. In order to create a new category, it needed to be far better at doing some key tasks such as browsing the Web, doing e-mail, sharing photos, watching video, gaming and reading e-books. It’s got to be better at these key tasks otherwise it has no reason for being. Some people have said: oh, that’s a netbook. The problem is netbooks aren’t better at ANYTHING.” Applause. “They’re just cheap laptops. And we call it, the iPad. It’s official.” he said.
