10:17: Steve is showing off the improved e-mail browser. Can look at the metro in paris…As an example of PDF display. All the attachment support now being demo’ed Sounds like the E-mail support is going to be absolutely rocking.
10:16 Grab the tablet in the kitchen… A whole website in the palm of your hands. Read national geographic, for example. Very, very simple. Time magazine being demos, sports, right in the palm of your hands. So that is browsing the web. Now E-Mail.
10:12 Great slide show stuff built in. Built in a calendar, see a months’ activities, a days’, built in, a great address book, contacts, GOOGLE MAPS, satellite view, etc. iPad is an aweesome way to enjoy your music colleciton, and of course, …iTunes, purchase movies, apps, music, etc. HIGH DEF YOUTUBE
10:12 Whole web page. It’s phenomenal. It’s incredible. Focus inon a message, see your inbox, turn it sideways (landscape and portrait support), keyboard pops up. It’s almost lifesize, it’s a dream. Your photos, your albums, your events, etc.
10:10 Very, very thin. Can change the background, Winterboard it out the wazoo (Winterboard is the jailbreak theming app) “Best browsing experience you’ll ever have with a whole web page right in front of you. Way better than a laptop, way better than an iPhone”

10:09: Something better for browsing the web than a laptop? Watching videos? Something better? Media collection, playing games? If there’s going to be a 3rd category of device, has to be better at these tasks.
10:08 Is there room for a third category of device? It’s the tablet, of course… Steve is making a case for the mobile niche of Apple. gdgt: “In order to create a new category of devices, those devices will have to be far better at doing some key tasks – important things – better than the laptop and smartphone. What kind of tasks? Things like browsing the web…”
10:06 In 1991,In Apple shipped first modern laptop computer. Apple invented it. With an LCD screen. In 2007, Apple reinvented the phone. 2 years later, the iPhone 3GS. Apple is laptops, Apple is smart phones.

More than Sony, etc. 15.6B in revenue. Bigger than Nokia. “apple is larger than sony mobile products division” — via twit
gdgt: “Lastly, we started apple in 1976 – 34 years later, we just ended our holiday quarter with 15.6 billion in revenue.” Big applause. “That means Apple is over a 50 billion dollar company – I like to forget that, because that’s not how we think of Apple, but it’s pretty amazing.”
