When presenting the iPad for the first time, Steve Jobs said that this was the best device, to view photos, watch videos, listen to music, read books, read email, browse the web. If you think about it, these are the six things that most people do every day on their computers.
Yes, people use other programs too, and that's why we have a 200.000 application database on the App store, and yes maybe those 200.000 applications can't cover your daily computer needs.
But sure as hell, with such a humongous app database, you're pretty damn close to a PC capable tablet!
I agree with Steve Jobs. The PC is slowly but surely abandoning homes, because is no longer needed. I no longer turn on my laptop to do any of these six things. I have my iPhone and my iPad.
And Steve Ballmer is panicking. And if he's not, then he should be. Microsoft might be high on the OS game, but right now they seem to be the old, rusty and tired company, and Apple is the young, energetic, cutting edge one.
However this battle turns out, I can only see benefits for us. The little people :)
