Really interesting chat, here's my input...
From a design point of view it does look like a giant iPhone although
with a much fatter, uglier border around the outside. Not being able
to run multiple apps at the same time is a minus point; not being
able to chat online and browse the web will
I do not understand the example. Do you suggest that the sorting of
the grid should change when users reorder the columns?
If yes, I disagree. The order of the columns (left to right) must not
interfere with how the data is ordered (top to bottom). These are two
separate things and users can
A few other random thoughts on the iPad:
- First off, to get a sense of the interactions you need to watch the video:

of back-slapping going on)
- Starting with 100K+ software apps

for my son (albeit, he's barely 2) and my nieces and nephews who are
elementary age and beyond. Maybe it could also have been named

I think one issue is that it is not widescreen. If it about consuming media
shouldn't the device be wide screen for movies.
Is it a good user experiance watching a movie on a narrow screen?
Also I can not just plug in devices into the USB.
And there is the issue of DRM. Especially with apple

You need an area to hold the thing without accidentally clicking stuff on

its also worth noting that while the market may be narrower than say an
