I'll also throw in an anecdote. My father, in his '70's has never, and I mean never, turned on a PC and used it. I got an iPad for him, and now he's sending me email and sharing jokes with me, like every new internet user. I expect the dancing baby clip any day now.

It really is a big step forwards because of battery life, display clarity, ease of learning the gestures and lack of scary buttons.
