Here we go, cats and kiddies. Walt Mossberg’s had his iPad for a week now, and he’s got to tell us all about it. Quotes below are transcribed from his video review.
"The question in my mind is just how important will this be… On one level I think this has the potential to challenge the laptop, it has the potential to, I think, even challenge the whole user interface we’ve had on computers and sort of set up a slow evolution towards multitouch and gesture and away from the mouse-driven interface…. That’s it’s potential. But it depends on whether — not everyone, but enough people decide that they can carry this instead of a laptop or a netbook. That is, that it can do much of what they want to do on their netbook or a laptop most of the time… so that they can just pick this up and take it with them, or use it around the house, and not crack open that bulkier, heavier laptop. We don’t know the answer to that."
