Begin EVENT:
-Tim Cook Takes The Stage 1st
He Starts With talking About “The Post PC Era”
“We have a great morning planned… I’d like to get started by talking about the post-PC revolution.”
“Apple is at the forefront of leading this revolution.”
“We’re talking about a world where the PC is no longer at the center of your digital world, but rather just a device. We’re talking about a new world where the devices you use the most need to be more portable… and dramatically more easy to use than ever before.”
listing of series of post-PC devices… iPod, iPhone and iPad.
The iPad “defined a whole new category. In many ways, the iPad is reinventing portable computing and it’s out-stripping the wildest of predictions.”
“Any company would be thrilled to have just one of these devices. At Apple, we’re fortunate to have all three, and the momentum has been staggering.”
172 million “post-PC” devices were sold last year, 76% of Apple’s revenue!
“Apple has its feet firmly planted in the post-PC future.”

iPad Time:
“The momentum behind iPad has been incredible and it has surprised virtually everyone.” 15.4 million​ sold in the last quarter.
-More iPads sold Than PC’s!!!
“When we set out to create the iPad we set out to create not just a new product but a new category. In order to do that the iPad had to be the best device for doing some of the things that you do most often.”
“When we asked iPad users who had a notebook a desktop and a smartphone about their favorite device ​for email, they responded ‘iPad.'”
Same for web surfing and e-reading. “Overwhelmingly” says Tim.
Gaming Also Crazy on the iPad.
“This is remarkable for a device that has been on the market for less than two years.”
Over 200,000 custom apps specifically for the iPad. “These apps are gorgeous and groundbreaking. They help you create or learn or do almost anything.”
“You won’t find these incredible apps on other tablets. In some estimates there were over 100​ competitive tablets launched in the last year. You won’t find that same competitive experience.” (Instagram)
We’re looking at Twitter on “a Samsung tablet” — it’s the Galaxy Tab. “It kind of looks like a​ blown-up smartphone app running on a tablet — and that’s exactly what it is!” (Sorry Samsung)
“Everyone’s been wondering… who will come out with a product that’s more amazing than the iPad 2?”
“Everybody’s been wondering, well stop wondering. We are.” (Tim Feeling Himself?? Not Really, they are the Best!!!)
“Today we’re announcing the new iPad, and it is amazing.”
“We are redefining the category that Apple created with the original iPad.”
Retina display, sure enough! “Until you see it you can’t understand how amazing it is.”
“Photos are just going to look amazing on that gorgeous high-resolution display.”
It’s 2048 x 1536, sure enough. That’s 3.1 million pixels. “The most ever in a mobile device.”

New gestures, new effects, multi-touch editing, and you can beam photos directly between devices.
a bezel gesture!
Swipe in from the left to look at other photos in the album.
by double-tapping a single photo it compares all pics that look similar. The app finds them​ automatically.
Just swipe down to remove them from the comparison, double-tap to go full-screen.
As you remove them, the app scales to show the most photos in the screen.
Supports up to 19 Megapixels!!
You can then flag the photos you like and view only those, then share easily through email, Flickr​ and Twitter, and others too.
auto-enhancing the photo now. With one-tap he just straightened a horizon photo and, with ​another, it fixed the contrast.
Cropping is quick and easy, and it’s a tap to go back to the untouched original. Very fluid and intuitive.
Tapping in a specific area lets you adjust specific areas of the image. Touch and drag to brighten up the dark areas in an underexposed image, then touch again in the sky to tweak the saturation.
Very simple, easy gestures. To tweak white balance, you just tap on what is skin and the app​ automatically adjusts the balance.
brush palettes, lots of tools like Red Eye, Saturation…
a Lighten brush and using that you can brighten up a specific area of an image.
Sharpen, Soften, Darken and a general “Repair” that has some magical sparkles spinning ​around the brush.
a black and white effect, or effects rather, with a series of different ones that can be​ chosen. There’s a vignette option as well.
more “artistic” effects too, like tilt-shift and watercolor.
the photos are still relatively locked on the iPad. There’s another step to​ get them from iPad to Mac. Have to wonder how much space all of these revisions take up…
There’s also now a Journal, which is a page showing all the highlighted​ pictures. Photos with captions or favorites are slotted into larger spots while others are smaller.​ But you can quickly edit to drag them around or change their displayed size.
You can add notes and text if you like, a calendar to show days, and it even grabs the date from the ​photo EXIF.
This app also works exactly the same on the iPhone.
And that’s iPhoto for iOS
