..Correct me if I'm wrong, but it wasn't Apple that called the iPad2 the "Holy Grail of Computing", which it clearly isn't... But I would argue this is is pretty damn close for a consumer electronic computing device. Think of it like a washing machine, it does what it says it does on the box, it just works, turn it on use it... No worry, no difficulties.
Apple is trading here on the fact that MicroSoft, left big security holes in Win95 and if anything went wrong with your "PC"... You were going to have to take it to an expert to get it fixed, those are the two real features the iPad trades on, the rest is just fluff.
Dunno about the just turn it on & no worries bit. browsing flash sites is a worry. until they're all replaced... (o:
But there is no doubt in my mind the bulk of the concepts around the iPad are the Holy Grail of computing futures.
Look at what intel are up to at the moment. integrated graphics, Purchasing a malware/security vendor. Swallowing up graphics houses. lookout Google when your browser based OS is released,,, whammo...
