Steve Jobs introduces the iPad - 2010 (full)

The iPad was announced on January 27, 2010, by Steve Jobs at an Apple press conference in San Francisco.
He later said that Apple had begun developing the iPad before the iPhone, but had temporarily shelved the effort upon realizing that its ideas would work just as well in a mobile phone. The iPad's internal codename was K48, which was revealed in the court case surrounding leaking of iPad information before launch.

Apple began taking pre-orders for the first-generation iPad on March 12, 2010.[3] The only major change to the device between its announcement and being available to pre-order was the change of the behavior of the side switch to perform either sound muting or screen rotation locking (user selectable).

I never owned an Apple computer device but I always enjoyed watching Steve do his thing when a new product came out. The "event" things they do now are boring and uninspiring.

You can see the audience was flatter for this reveal than with the iPhone in 2007.

Did not realize the first gen iPad had a keyboard accessory ...Steve Jobs would of definitely appreciated the magic keyboard

Could only imagine if he picked michael jackson by accident playing “wana be starting something!” 😅

After he died no new revolutionary products which is sad, who knows what new ideas he was not able to implement.

Three days before the iPad presentation, I bought my first iMac with macOS X Snow Leopard. Since then I buy Apple products only.

7:51 Probably the reason why Apple will not make iPadOS truly replace MacOS.

[bluevelvetinyourarea]

This is the reason Gen alpha turned out a mess!

[SoraFloatyKitty]

Dang it, part of the video had audio muted!
