The Real Reason the iPad Matters
“It means that book publishers will have to earn their bound-book sales, though at the same time they will be able to mass-market digital pulps.”
When everybody calms down that this thing doesn’t have a camera, they’ll realize, like AKMA, that the iPad isn’t about replicating the iPhone, only bigger.

The iPad isn’t a transformation of the iPhone, it’s a transformation of how we will consume (and later produce) media. It will start slow, much in the same way the iPod did back in the day. Ten years out, we’ll be transformed.
