Having a mother, who recently got an iPad, I really doubt the claim, that the apple-product has an easy-mode.
Sorry, but she is not very computer-literate, but i have never, ever been that much of a help-center-agent via phone (we live some distance apart), then after she got her iPad.
No, for a normal person, there is no such thing as an iDevice-easy mode. After she got the hang of it, after she understood the logic behind doing things the apple-iDevice way, she did not need my support that often. But till then, it was very eye-opening to see a normal person use a device like this.
- r00fus 14y agoAnecdotal response - my mother-in-law could use her gifted iPad more fluidly than I could after just a few hours with the device (and me to assist). She's a seamstress, and could never quite grok her PC (or her Mac), but she flows between apps using gestures, and cut/pastes and uses Facetime, iMessage and Photostream quite frequently (mostly to check in on her grand-daughters). Perhaps iOS is easiest for those who never really cared about or understood desktop/WiMP paradigm in the first place?
