Jobs, 54, who suffered from pancreatic cancer last year and took five and a half months of leave for a liver transplant, he looked thin in presenting the highly anticipated device.
The computer has a touch screen, measuring 25 cm (9.7 inches). It has a thickness of 1.25 centimeter (half inch), weighs 680 grams (1.5 pounds) and comes with flash memory capacity of 16, 32 or 64 gigabytes. The basic models costing 499, 599 and $ 699, according to capacity.

Besides, a new online bookstore, which puts the iPad competing with the Kindle from Amazon.com and other digital readers.
Jobs said the PC board type or "tablet" will be better than current phones and laptops to watch videos, enjoy video games and read eBooks. The iPad schedule includes programs, maps, a video player and other music. Everyone seems to have been redesigned to take advantage of increased screen size.
The "tablets" have long existed without much commercial success. Jobs acknowledged that Apple will have to convince consumers they should buy another screen connected to the Internet, in addition to televisions, computers and telephones that many already have.
"To truly create a new category of device, that device has to be much better for some key tasks," said Jobs. "We think we have what it takes. We think we succeeded."
The programs for the iPhone, called "apps", also work in the iPad. Apple also disclosed updated tools aimed at software developers who want to create programs for the new device.
"We believe it will be another gold rush for developers as they create new programs for the iPad" said Scott Forstall, senior software for the iPhone.
