because you don't have to lug around a desktop/laptop/netbook to view the interactive stuff now. the alice app on the ipad is great because it's interactive, graphical, a book, and can go with me quickly, easily, available practically instantly.
now. how successful do you think the alice app would be if it were a windows app. even lugging your netbook around with you, booting up windows, starting the app, it's not as convenient. you might not have a touchscreen. and could you see yourself twisting and tilting your netbook around? or laptop? how would you even do it on a desktop? to make objects fall around the screen. i guess they could let you mouse around and pull the objects. but trust me, it's no where near the same experience as when you flip your ipad around.
we needed a good, fast, capable tablet device for media developers to give us apps like the alice app. now that we have one, we can start to see the content.
