Uh… that’s it?

Steve Jobs:
“In order to create a new category of devices, those devices will have to be far better at doing some key tasks — important things — better than the laptop and smartphone. What kind of tasks? Things like browsing the web…

That’s a tall order — better than a laptop at browsing the web? Enjoying and sharing photos, videos, enjoying music, playing games, reading e-books.

Some people have said: oh, that’s a netbook. The problem is netbooks aren’t better at ANYTHING.”

I haven’t heard anyone say “Oh, that’s a netbook.” Don’t act like you just unveiled a revolutionary product that is literally the Apple version of crap Microsoft et al were churning out in 2000.

The iPad, AKA the iPhone with a MacBook Air screen, is as annoying to carry around as a laptop, and is as oversimplified as an iPhone. So, the new device takes the flaws of both and muddles them together.

I don’t get it.
