The article talks about two different things:
1) Whether the iPad is revolutionary, and how in this respect it compares to the iPhone and the Mac.
2) iPad’s split-screen UX
The two are not linked in a casual relationship imho. I personally never use split screen on my Mac (and of course on my iPhone), but this has not precluded it from being a device I use almost every waking hour.
So to address the first point, the reason the iPad is not as revolutionary is because being in the middle of the two revolutionary products, it’s shares the pros and cons of both, in a way that negates each other. So the iPad is not small enough to be truly portable, but not big enough to be the perfect work horse. It will never have the same success and impact on the world, no matter its UX.
