There are exceptions, I also own a car (although we had two and now
only have one). I basically only drive on weekends.

Now that is funny.. because the iPad probably is a Moped.. Good for
the
short trips to the dairy when I dont want to cycle :)

Good post Steve!
And this I think is the point… an iPad fills the “middle” space
between
two devices that most people will still have need for once the “cool”
has
faded/jaded.
Extending your modes of transport analogy….
If I have uses for both a car and a push bike, why would I buy a
moped
?

no product is ever the be all and end all. but I can guarantee that
my
children and grandparents will take an iphone or ipad over a desktop
any day
of the week.. they can learn it easily, just like the old palm
pilots.
Technology made simple is an excellent concept (if limiting to people
who
like to delve into advanced areas)
I have had palm pilots, psion, apple, PC, iPhone, Blackberry, you
name
it. All have their uses however its always back to the workhorse
computer
for doing business.
Yes, my iPhone has things like tasks, outliners, notes, email,
browser,
mindmapping, maps, even my bible is on there, but I still drop
straight back
into a PC (albeit the eeePC now) whenever I need to get some serious
work or
typing done. I can do quick email replies but get to the computer for
anything thoughtful. For example, I read this post on the iPhone, but
went
straight to the PC to type out the reply as it was more than a simple
couple
of lines.
I doubt very much if it will be the iPad vs the PC as the discussion
has
been - it's more likely to be the iPhone or iPad PLUS the PC.
Just because something is easy to use, doesn't make it automatically
better. Why would you learn to drive a car when riding a bike, or
even
walking is much easier to do?
