I think you reached a different conclusion than others reading the article which may explain the confusion. What I took away here is Gruber thinks it will be unlike other tablets that have been released due to Apple's strong focus on practical usability and their ability to tightly integrate their hardware & software platforms unlike other companies who have attempted tablet computers. As for the authors credentials -- he makes a living covering Apple. He has an excellent understanding of Apple's corporate culture and a good feel for how people are using technology in their everyday lives.
- sker 17y agoYes, I understand your point and his point. But in some parts he talks as if we were flooded by one-purpose devices like Amazon's kindle, and Apple was going to be our savior by introducing a general-purpose tablet. And that's not the case, general-purpose tablets have been the norm for most of the decade. Honestly, you and I both reached the same conclusion: Apple's tablet will be better thanks to Apple's great execution. I just don't understand why the article gets son many up-votes. We should expect those results from Apple based on what they've done with their other products.
