At a special event held this morning at Apple headquarters, CEO Steve Jobs introduced an "ultra-magical, breathtaking, life-changing" new 42-inch widescreen iPad. The device, which he christened the iPad 42, capitalizes on consumers' rising use of tablet computers -- a market Apple has dominated since the introduction of the first iPad in early 2010. The latest iPad will retail for $1,699 when it goes on sale, first in the United States, on Sept. 22. An innovative origami-style cover, sold separately, allows it to be propped up at a 90-degree angle or even hung from a wall also the new iPad's relatively paltry battery life up to 40 minutes between charges the iPad 42 comes with a 100-foot MagSafe power cord."Though reaction to the supersized iPad has been largely positive, particularly among gadget blogs including Gizmodo and Engadget, Apple's newest must-have device does have its detractors. New York Times tech columnist David Pogue, for instance, revealed that during advance testing, he broke a hip and killed a puppy when he dropped his iPad 42 review unit. His counterpart at The Wall Street Journal, Walt Mossberg, noted that in certain situations he had to suck in his gut to avoid interference with the device's 4G cellular connection.
Remember that we bring the best in both media!
