>> It's nothing like seeing it, so I'd love to show it to you now. Let's take a look at it. Using this thing is remarkable. It's, 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 locked screen. I unlock it; the icons fly in. Let's go right to the web. So here we are at apple.com, and I'm just gonna go to Safari. I just touch the bookmarks 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 the New York Times. Anywhere I want to go, anything I want to make bigger, I can make bigger. If I want to go into a story, I can just touch it... and I go into that story.

Silence Back to the front page. And so I can browse around the New York Times so easily. It's really great. I go down here, you know? Laughter See what's happening today.

Laughter continues And again, just so easy to go into a story like this. See the photographs; read the story. It's that simple. Let me go to another website here. Let's go to Time Magazine; see what's up in Time's website.

Silence Just flip through the website, see what's happening. Go to another one here... uh, Fandango. Want to buy some tickets to a movie? Grab the tablet that's in the kitchen, go to Fandango on your iPad and buy your tickets. It's that simple. The whole website in the palm of your hands. Let me go to another one. That's kind of nice: National Geographic.

Silence And again, you know, we can look at this in landscape mode if we'd like, go back to portrait... it's very, very simple.
