The iPad wouldn't have helped these people. They can obviously launch a browser successfully, but having done that they have no clue that there are sites other than Google and Facebook. Unless Apple's next brilliant innovation is to remove Safari's URL bar and have giant buttons mapped to the top 10 sites. And no you can't configure them, only geeks would want to do that...
- hussong 17y agoThat's actually a great idea. If people don't get the address bar, you might as well take it away and get more viewport. A couple buttons could actually do the job for that segment of users. On top of that, you can sell an app that enables users to map those buttons to other sites.
- Lazlo_Nibble 17y agoThe iPad is perfect for these people. They'll just download "Facebook", "Google" and "Amazon" from the App Store and never even open Safari.
- hernan7 17y agoDoesn't the new Safari have something like that? Those big "top site" previews that appear when you start a new page. Chrome too, only they don't pre-populate the list of sites for you.
