I’ll have more to say on the iPad later but one can’t help being struck by the volume and vehemence of apparently technologically sophisticated people inveighing against the iPad.
Some are trying to dismiss these ravings by comparing them to certain comments made after the launch of the iPod in 2001: “No wireless. Les space than a Nomad. Lame.”. I fear this January-26th thinking misses the point.
What you’re seeing in the industry’s reaction to the iPad is nothing less than future shock.
