I think the point he's making is that it's silly to make judgements on the long-term viability of the iPad platform based on problems with the first generation device. The iPad doesn't have to sell in huge numbers in the first couple of years. Eventually the platform will develop and mature, and perhaps in five years time or so, it might be powerful enough to replace a traditional computer for most people.

The frustrating thing is that it is powerful enough to be a computer for most people, but for non-technical reasons, Apple insists on keeping it Not A Computer.

- vetinari 16y agoWell, she won't have problem finding the printer on the device, that can not print.
