The Apple Tablet Event

2:20 The publishing world’s collective jaw dropped as Jobs put up the final price point for the basic iPad: $499. Gizmodo has the rest of the price range: “And the 3G models cost an extra $130, so $629, $729 and $829 for the 3G-capable models.”

2:00 Most importantly, Jobs unveiled iBooks, Apple’s tablet bookstore. There was a shot of books priced as low as $4.99–is that real? See above. A classy bookshelf display. And, thankfully, iBooks will use ePub, meaning it, unlike Kindle, is compatible with lots of books and publishers.
