Tell me what you think the iPad will do or evolve into.
lonelysandwich:
I can’t tell if you’re trying to trick me or something, but if that’s the case, you miss the point.
The point is not what I think it will become. The point is that it will become something else that’s not obvious right now, just like it wasn’t obvious what the iPod would become. The point is technology...
While it's mean to beat up on a 14-year-old...
