After months of speculative buzz, Apple on Wednesday announced its much–anticipated tablet device, the iPad, in front of a packed audience at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.

The iPad, which looks like an oversized iTouch, will allow people to take their movies, TV shows, music, games, and books with them on the go.

"We want to kick off 2010 with a truly revolutionary and magical product," CEO Steve Jobs told the audience. "All of us use laptops and smart phones now. "It's time, he said, for a third category of device."

The new touchscreen tablet computer is a cross between a laptop and a smart phone and its starting price is $499.

Mr. Jobs said the device would have a wide range of uses, from emailing and web browsing to video viewing and reading e-books.

“If there’s going to be a third category it has to be better at these tasks, otherwise it has no reason for being,” Mr. Jobs said.

Anticipation for the iPad was particularly high given Apple’s huge success with the iPhone, which has caused a revolution in the smartphone industry and left big companies like Nokia and Microsoft struggling to catch up.

Mr. Job, who was still looking thin after a fight with cancer that included a liver transplant, triumphantly challenged the world’s biggest mobile technology companies, declaring that Apple’s total revenue from mobile gear – including its iPod and iPhone lines – now exceeded that of world mobile leader Nokia.

“We’re a mobile company. That’s what we do,” he said.
