Do you remember the original iPad?
People were really excited (Nat sound)
It launched in April 2010
It wasn’t the first tablet
But it was the coolest to-date
Apple sold over 300,000 on the first day
The cheapest model cost $499
No selfies! It didn’t have a camera
iPad was advertised for email, reading, and video games
or when you simply couldn’t be bothered to carry a laptop
Remember when automatic orientation seemed so cool?
Yeah…we were easily impressed
