I've been trying to understand how the iPad will be disruptive to any market, but I can't. The iPad misses the mark in so many ways. What does it do that my netbook doesn't? Nothing. Is it more comfortable to use? That's really debatable. Better input mechanisms? Certainly doesn't look that way.
I've seen tech folks point out that the iPad must be great because it's something that their mothers want to use. But is that a good thing? Are the same qualities that are attracting your mother to the device the same qualities that would inspire strong adoption? Make the device popular among teenagers? The business community? Artists? The tech crowd?
I can't wait for the iPad to come out because I'm hoping I'll finally have an epiphany about exactly what makes this device worth purchasing.
