I'm surprised by the failure of imagination of HN readers. Nine times out of ten, HN readers are complaining about the limitations of the iPad; out of the woodwork come those who complain about those who complain. To my mind, Becky is not arguing that the iPad should become the next Mac. Nowhere in the article is that ever stated. Yet, that's the argument against which so many people are rallying. It is possible to wish for the iPad to do more whilst preserving what makes iPad … iPad. That's what the bulleted list contains: ideas for allowing a little more complexity whilst preserving simplicity. There are so many more things the iPad can do that expand on its current capabilities without compromising on the iPad experience — don't let your failure of imagination, your sense of "I like using my iPad this way, so everybody else must too" get in the way of dreaming up new experiences for the world's best-selling tablet and digital stylus. The iPad has already proven itself a wonderful balance of power and simplicity. Imagine what it could do when just a tiny bit more power is unlocked. Not just for pros, developers. For creative types. For school students. For people with disabilities and other special needs.
