I think this will be important. It's an enrichment of the iPhone experience instead of a denigration of the laptop experience. A user comes to it familiar with an iPhone and finds it faster, more useful, etc. A user comes to a netbook and feels cramped because it's worse than what it's imitating.
- pyre 17y agoOn the other hand, what about someone that goes from a laptop/desktop to an iPad without the iPhone step?
- masterj 17y agoIt's not the step I'm referring to really, so much as the expectations of the form factor. I've never had a smart phone, but I don't think I would sit down and try to do what I do on a laptop with it. However, were I to buy a netbook, that's exactly what I would do. It's a small point among many, but from the human perspective I think it will significantly impact their reception to the iPad.
