> But I don't think making the iPad's operating system usable is an attempt to somehow position the devices as "PC killers. I agree with that one - meaningful improvements to make the iPad a better choice for the users that can get away with using only the iPad as their primary device is a good thing. There's also a significant number of those users. But in practice, deciding what those capabilities are and how best to implement those are far more complicated questions - adding a mouse pointer is maybe a perfect illustration of the conundrum - should we, how should it look, what about the click targets, what about touch first, pencil etc.
