Just one question...
How many people buy a computer to actually program it ? Probably quite a lot less than the ones who use it to surf the web, play games and write some emails or do some personal accounting... Which, by the way, are things that you can do on an iPad...
Thus his point that the iPad will stifle creativity by not being open is not really valid... To publish on the iPad is a bit more complicated but also still possible. Fire up the SDK and start programming that next killer-app... Won't be easy but then nobody said creation had to be easy !
Frankly that piece of journalism really read like a "It was better before"... Coming from a supposedly young guy, it makes me sad !
