9:05 AM -- The first commercial for the upcoming Apple iPad debuted during the Oscars last night.



After demonstrating a variety of exciting activities, such as reading a book and watching Star Trek on the iPad, the commercial ends with "April 3," the device's release date.

Steve Jobs himself was spotted at the Oscars, likely because Pixar, which he sold to Disney in 2006, had a movie (Up) competing for several awards.
