Just listing the ways in which iPad is significantly different from everything else out there. Whether the differences turn out to be a big deal remains to be seen. 1) That's nitpicking. A video game shouldn't have access to your important files, and that's something Mac and PC get "wrong", and iPad gets "right". 2) Nope. If your computer breaks you have to reinstall it, and then reinstall Dropbox and then you get only files back from a single directory. We developers have solutions for every problem, but that's irrelevant for the public at large. 3) For some value of "better". Either way, it's still a big change from the status quo, hence revolutionary. 4) Fair enough. 5) If it's not revolutionary, what would you call it? If because of the iPad the future of personal computing is DRM-ed then I'd say that's a major, major revolution. 6) From a consumer perspective that's exactly what it means. If you can't see it, it ain't there.
