Kara Swisher has posted a video where Walt Mossberg questions Steve Jobs after the iPad launch event.

In the video Mossberg asks Jobs about the rumored price of e-books costing up to $14.99 as compared to Amazon's $9.99. Jobs assured him that the prices would be "the same". Mentioning that some publisher are holding their content back from Amazon.

Jobs also states that the iPad will have about 140 hours of music playback and a little more then 10 hours of battery life for other tasks such as reading books. During the keynote it was announced that the iPad battery offers 10 hours of video playback and one month of standby power.


When asked if 10 hours was enough for iBook reading, Jobs said it was "not a big deal" and that "you just end up plugging it in". "10 hours is a long time, you're not gonna read for 10 hours"

Mossberg asks Jobs if he should write his review on the iPad, Jobs told him, "Sure get Pages, write it in Pages". "You could make a Word version and sent it in an email to your editors."
