Funny, I just had a coffee in a local Coffee Republic, sat down to drink and have a read and a late middle-age couple sat down with their brand new iPad (straight from your Evil Apple). I asked what they thought of it and they were absolutely delighted, connecting to the net as we spoke and checking eMail etc. When I said I thought it was OK but missed a couple of things I'd like, their response was shame about that but it did exactly what they wanted, in a direct and simple way with no worries about tech issues at all... and it suited most of their friends and relatives...
So what was being put over on them?? Happiness, satisfaction, couldn't give a damn about tehnophiles opinions... whatever...
