Apple chief executive Steve Jobs has unveiled his new touchscreen computer called the iPad.
He said it was a "revolutionary" product that was between a laptop computer and a smartphone and was "awesome" for watching films and TV shows.
Speaking at a news conference in San Francisco, Mr Jobs said: "We want to kick off 2010 by introducing a truly magical and revolutionary product.
"All of us use laptops and smartphones now.
"The question has arisen lately - is there room for a third category of device in the middle, something between the laptop and the smartphone?"
And then, to a round of applause, he showed off the new iPad, which has an on-screen keyboard, is half an inch thick (1.3cm) and weighs 1.5lb (0.7kg).
But after all the hype surrounding the launch, investors appeared to be underwhelmed by the unveiling.
I dont see why anyone would want one of these?
. Steve Jobs is a kunt 
, yeah , and while I'm at it bring back those mobiles the size of a house brick, no kunt tried to mug you for one of them and if they did it was a more than useful weapon.
