>They bought them because they were leaps and bounds better than the one they already had, they did more and better. In my opinion it's all about the apps, the overall adoption is just a reflection of apps conquering certain hobby niches and activities that already exist outside of the Appstore, activities that favor some kind of tactile interaction. That's why music making and painting apps are so popular on the iPad, people use them as replacements for actual physical devices, not for replacing computers. That's why coding on an iPad is still very niche and not a thing, desktops and laptops are already perfect for that.
