On iPads, Grandmas and Game-changing by Rob Foster.

I’ve had very similar experiences to the three he listed, but I’d add one more: Geeks.

So far, the only people who have been talking smack about the iPad have been those who are so familiar with technology that we take hierarchical file systems for absolute granted, who expect and (to some degree) want the ability to delete an important system file thereby fucking the whole thing up. I can’t disagree, I want that too.

I know that the iPad will not, in its early state, be an acceptable replacement computer for me. However, I also know that it likely will be for my mom and my sister. Possibly for my fiancée. And certainly for countless other people out there.
