Why is importat the opinion of this guy? he just made a mp3 player.
What made it special was the simplicity and usability.
I still recall the posts on this site about the iPad thinking it was another Tablet PC:
- "LOL Another Tablet PC, but even worse it doesn't have a KEYBOARD"
- "I can just see someone coding on this or typing up a document or photo-editing"
Didn't seem to occur to people that the iPad is a content-consumption device, and touch interface changes the way the thing is used.
