I’m linking this for one reason. To relate the fact that when I’m presenting to a client on my Macbook, I have this annoying habit of reaching for the screen and trying to iPad things around. I know I’m not alone in this. I don’t know if Apple’s aware of the fact that they’re building a market before they have a device to feed it. Someone else could zoom in right now, and steal that market away (I’m ignoring the power of the Apple brand, just brainstorming).

My oldest ‘gets’ the mouse. The middle one is ok with it. My 2 yr old reaches up onscreen and taps the buttons. iPads are puters, and the ipod touch is just a small puter. Ones that don’t respond to touch are broken, and it’s all because he’s never been around when all we had were big read only displays.
