Apple iPad – our first-look video

“This is our most advanced technology in a magical and revolutionary device at an unbelievable price.”

That was how Steve Jobs described the iPad when he unveiled it on Wednesday at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco, and he went backstage afterwards to show off the device.

I had a chance to get a close-up view with an Apple demonstrator backstage and was impressed with the iPad’s many capabilities.  See the video first-look after the jump.
