I think Apple was really smart to leverage everything they created
with the iPhone. Especially the App Store. I think it will be huge.
I think the simple change in form factor and screen size will create
a whole new use case that doesn't exist yet: casual computing. You
CAN put a laptop in your lap as you lean back, but it's really
awkward and looks stupid. Not to mention burns your lap and runs out
of batteries in 2 hours.
This is as simple as holding a newspaper. I think it will make all
the difference. As a platform, it has huge potential that is hard to
visualize because it's so new to us, and we try and fit our previous
experiences into it instead.
