10:33AM "Let's start with Facebook. It just works." He's showing off the non-pixel doubled version, a small app in the middle of the screen. It's kind of silly looking. A lone app in the center of a black screen. The scaled up app looks silly as well, especially in Facebook.
10:31AM "Now, let's go back to software. We've seen some great built in apps. Let's talk about third party. Let's talk about the app store." Scott Forstall is out
I was worried about the arsenic level in my electronics.
10:30AM "What is the battery life like? We've been able to achieve 10 hours of battery life. I can take a flight from San Francisco to Tokyo and watch video the whole time. And it has over a month of standby time."
10:29AM Available in 16GB, 32, 64...

This is a pretty nice feature. Most cheap flat panel screens are crappy TN screens, which makes the colors inconsistent from one corner to the other, and will wash out at certain angles. The colors are oversaturated and anything but accurate.

10:35AM "So all of the iPhone apps will run on this. In fact when you buy it, download all the apps you have right onto the iPad. Now if the developer spends some time modifying their app, they can take full advantage of this display."

10:37AM "We're exciting about possibilities on this. So we invited some developers two weeks ago to see what they could create. We want to show you what they came up with. First, Gameloft." Mark Hickey from Gameloft is up.
two weeks? is that it?
10:39AM Showing off their FPS Nova. "I can slide the d-pad on the screen..." You can set up your own controls. New gestures for interacting with games. This isn't anything breathtaking just yet -- fairly standard graphics (though nice), nothing new in terms of interaction.

Jason Chen: Another new innovation, drawing a targeting box around enemies and firing on them simultaneously.

Jason Chen: They can “interact with the game world in ways that weren’t possible before,” like sliding three fingers on the screen to interact with a door.

10:42AM Wow, nice. Embedded video inside of articles that can be played.
10:42AM "We think we've captured the essence of reading the newspaper. A superior experience in a native application." Wow, the layout is just like a standard paper, and again we've got those dropdown context menus. You can resize text with a pinch.
10:41AM "So Steve showed you the Times website, it's beautiful. Why did we come out here to develop a new app for the iPad? Our iPhone app has been downloaded 3m times. We wanted to create something special for the iPad."

I just wet myself. Fieldrunners is going to be so cool on a 10" display! SimCity will be playable.
Alright Steve, enough with the features. You had me at "Hello!" What's the price on the 16Gb and 64Gb versions?
