Just wrong or......
Hi,
Is this underlined sentence wrong? Just wrong sentence or does have something in it?
********
Even before the iPad was unveiled Wednesday, Hewlett-Packard Co. had showed off a slate computer designed to display printed content and video. Lenovo Group Ltd. in June will begin selling a $999 hybrid device called the IdeaPad U1 that splits into two pieces. Separated, it's a color touchscreen tablet that's good for reading and browsing the Web, and snapped together it becomes a full-power laptop with keyboard. Virginia startup EnTourage Systems Inc. is selling what it calls a "dualbook," a fold-up device with a color touchscreen on one side for Web browsing and a black-and-white screen on the other that's optimized for long-form reading.
Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs on Wednesday drove home the all-in-one idea that with the iPad. It lets consumers email photos, watch video, listen to music, play games in addition to reading e-books. "In order to really create a new category of devices, those devices are going to have to be far better at doing some key tasks,'' Mr. Jobs said. ``We think we've got the goods. We think we've done it.''

The sentence is wrong. It is probably a misprint. "That with the iPad" is a fragment.

"That with the iPad" is a fragment.
Probably meant to say:
"...that with the iPad will let consumers email photos, watch video, etc...."

Hi,
"...that with the iPad will let consumers email photos, watch video, etc.."
I hope even the 'with' can be avoided.
Thanks.

"The" all-in-one idea - is that that "the" you are referring to? If so, then no, it stays.
