“Now you can have the versatility and blazing speed of the iPad in a model that fits in your pocket,” Apple CEO Steve Jobs said at today’s unveiling. “The iPadito will revolutionize mobile computing by filling the gap between iPod Shuffle, iPhone, iPad, MacBook, and Mac Pro in a home or business that already includes AppleTV and an Airport Extreme base station with Time Capsule, preferably the 2-Terabyte version.”
Jobs said that, between the comparative bulk of the iPhone and iPad and the slightness of the the iPods Shuffle and Nano, the new iPadito, which comes in 8GB, 32GB and 64GB models, would “have the pleasant solidity of a bunch of credit cards tightly wound with rubber bands.”
Added Jobs, “… except you could play your Dokken in crystal-clear AAC format.”
With prices beginning at $799 for the 8GB version the iPadito, Jobs said, “ushers in a new era of connected pocket computing, especially when your iPad is way over in the other room.”
