Walt Mossberg asks Steve Jobs the hard questions… sort of
The video below shows Walt Mossberg talking to Steve Jobs right after the event on Wednesday. Mossberg asked Steve some interesting questions that hinted to the belief that 10 hours isn’t enough battery life for an eReader… we’d disagree. I’m not going to read for 10 hours at a time and that’s exactly what Steve gives as a response. He also addresses the pricing of eBooks on the iPad… Steve says that “the prices will be the same.” It also becomes apparent that the iPad will have 140 hours of music playback. Wow. Steve also confirmed that we have iWork to Office format conversions directly on the device. We’ll be able to create, save and email our documents to anyone directly from the device.
The questions start near the 1:50 mark. Enjoy!
