Maybe I'm slow, but what's that Lckig=ng supposed to mean ? And yes, I did read TFA. Is it just the nonsense one types while resting his fingers against the virtual keyboard ?
OTOH, excellent point about the iPad being a non-essential : a niche product. It could still be highly successful, but as I think Apple is looking for big hits, it would get dropped eventually if it stays a niche product. Which would be a shame IMHO. Was it the same with the Newton ?
- stcredzero 17y agoMaybe I'm slow, but what's that Lckig=ng supposed to mean? This makes me skeptical. To type an equal, you need two separate mode-shifts of the keyboard to even make that possible. Even if that's done, the = key is two keys over and two keys up from the nearest letter in Lacking.

- troystribling 17y agoApple has a history of innovation in new device classes, notable are the PC, laptop, PMP and Smartphone. You could also make the claim that the Newton was not on Steve Job's watch. I see the iPad as a not fully baked iteration on the Smart Phone/Netbook. I personally do not see the virtual keyboard as a problem. There is room for improvements but I think people are not use to them yet. If the price and weight half and document management is worked through it could get some traction. It is a little premature to see its failure. Utility is often seen in retrospect. 15 years ago neither the personal computer nor internet would have been seen as essential.
