And we're onto the iPhoto segment of the promotional video.
Josh Lowensohn 3/7/2012 7:19:29 PM
And the video's over. Schiller back up now.
Josh Lowensohn 3/7/2012 7:19:53 PM
Along with the new iPad, we're going to keep the iPad 2 in the line, Schiller says.
Josh Lowensohn 3/7/2012 7:20:01 PM
Today, iPad 2 will start at $399

Josh Lowensohn 3/7/2012 7:20:20 PM
That's the 16GB, Wi-Fi only model. "So many more people can afford to get into this groundbreaking technology," Schiller says.
Josh Lowensohn 3/7/2012 7:20:40 PM
Now we've got the pricing matrix up. It's literally called "The new iPad"
Donald Bell 3/7/2012 7:20:42 PM
Josh Lowensohn 3/7/2012 7:20:50 PM
Cook back up.
Josh Lowensohn 3/7/2012 7:21:34 PM
Cook wrapping up, "We have redefined once again the category Apple created just two years ago with the original iPad." And now we're getting another ad about it.

Josh Lowensohn 3/7/2012 7:22:36 PM
A very short ad, at that. Cook back once again. "I hope you can see why we think the new iPad has enormous potential and why it's the ultimate poster-child of the post-PC world."
Josh Lowensohn 3/7/2012 7:23:20 PM
Cook says: "Only Apple could deliver this kind of innovation in such a beautiful, integrated, and easy to use way. It's what we love to do. It's what we stand for. And across the year, you're going to see a lot more of this kind of innovation. We are just getting started."
Josh Lowensohn 3/7/2012 7:23:47 PM
And that's it. Cook walks off stage. We're going to head on over to get our mitts on this thing. Thanks for tuning in.
