苹果CEO乔布斯为你解读IPad

Netbooks aren’t better than anything, they are slow, they have low quality displays and they run clunky 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 are a third category 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 this gorgeous large display. So this is the lock screen and I unlock it the icons fly in. Let’s go right to the web. So here we are at apple.com. And I am just gonna go to safari. I just touch the book marks icon and touch the New York Times let's say. And here we are, right at the New York Times. You can see how fast it is. And I can just scroll around here, and look at the whole front page of New York Times. Now if I want to reply to a message or go ahead send a message, I just hit a composed button here, and up pops its gorgeous keyboard, and let's say Scott F and F.S and.. Now there we go. It's that simple to do email on the i-Pad. Let's go to YouTube and I am gonna pick a clip but called “Wet and Woofy” that I know is in the High-Def on YouTube, here it is. And again, I can even go a full screen here, going to landscape, that's all from YouTube. Is that incredible?  All right, so that's YouTube, but again here is related clips and more from that person, and again whether it's 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, right underneath your finger tips. So let’s go back to the hardware a little bit. The iPad is really thin. It's half an inch thin. And it weighs just one and half 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, say you get great angle view as well, very high quality display. And as you know Apple builds the best capacitive multi-touch sensors in the world, marry to our 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 almost the most advanced chip we've ever done. That powers the iPad, it's got the processor, the graphics, the IO, the memory controller, everything in this one chip and its screens. And you can have 16, 32 or 64 Gigabytes, a flash sorts storage inside the iPad. It's got the latest wireless networking, Wi-Fi, 802.11n and the latest blue tooth 2.1. And the usual suspects: accelerometer, compass, speaker microphone, it's got a 30 pin collector so plugs into whole equal system of iPod accessories. And it's got battery. What is the battery life of this remarkable device? We've been able to achieve 10 hours of battery life. It's one and half pound device. 10 hours battery betweens 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 standby life. So we can just set the iPad down and we go to sleep automatically, and we come back in a month we still have charge.
