How so Harry? Not being flippant but genuinely interested in your opinion.
Personally, I don't think it unreasonable a question to ask...as in "what is your vision of how this device fits into my needs for a learning tool?" which is how I took the question, though I am not sure that is exactly how the student in this case posed the question by the time she got to emailing Jobs. And it also crossed my mind that perhaps the real exercise was to try and manipulate a person of note into a corner and snappish responses that put them in a poor light. So, nope I don't trust most media...maybe that is why I enjoy our own Charbax, he at least gives us pure video and honest video that is difficult to dispute.
BTW, as for a hoax, I feel it is highly unlikely that PC Mag is going to get fooled by a hoax...of course that was the old days when the media cared about facts. I have read enough posted Jobs responses to see this is not an unusual terse tone from Jobs.
But again, I am not asking about this because of Jobs or Apple, more in general I feel it points to a valid question to ask of ANY device maker...mainly because I see the slate devices as having HUGE potential in the world of academia.
To me it actually comes down to the apps with the hardware only important because of limits it places on what the software can do....but man have I so long wanted a slate PC, seriously it has been a good 25-30 years.
