Most desktop and laptop computers up until now have asked too much of the consumer, and one prophet has seen the light, and is now selling something quite different.

Yes indeed.

Anyone notice the similarity between the iPad and the visual clipboard that
astronauts Bowman and Poole used on the Discovery in 2001: A Space Odyssey?
Only nine years late. (Hopefully the likes of HAL will always be late)

cheers
