While the iPad is a nicely packaged bit of technology w/ a lively ecosystem which affords lots of options, the change of heart I'm hoping for is for Apple to let out some of the technology which it had:
- Inkwell --- everyone can write, why can't one use it on all Apple devices?
- Numbers.app is really being held back (to a simplistic 2-dimensional spreadsheet) by compatibility w/ Excel --- why not create a mode where it can function like Lotus Improv?
- Display PostScript --- it still appalls me that over two decades after NeXT (and Adobe) created this, it's possible to have a graphic on-screen which can't be printed.
