The best tablet since the commandments

Ok, seriously, if i told you that Steve Jobs went all anal-retentive on the iPad you'd believe me.... right? well he did. And thank God, or we might have not ever gotten the non-computer computer. So the iPad has been around for a while now, and life has settled back into the routine. except I no longer really need or want my smartphone.  In my backpack today, I had my laptop, my iPad and my smartphone in my pocket.  The impact that anyone of these has on the other is exactly what I aim to talk about.

When you turn to Chapter thirty-eight the title and subtitle make it pretty clear what the iPad was aimed at: PCs. Now, Personal computers as we all should know revolutionized the world in the beginnings of Apple.  So it is only fair that they make them obsolete... pysch. That's what Jobs wanted, he literally put up a question mark between an iphone and a laptop, isn't there something better to be in between these. His answer was the iPad. Now, just to be clear i love my ipad, and i loved my iphone, but now its just redundant.  If Job's goal was to replace my iphone with an ipad, he did a great job, i can go back to that flip phone I had back in 1999 (text and voice on that baby). But to think that there is an argument to be made that Jobs, didn't craft this gem to replace laptops, arguably the PC of this generation, with no physical keyboard, don't kid yourself. 

Now get this, i use my smartphone, less than ever before, but my computer sees about 70% of the same usage that it did before.  I love my laptop, yes bulky with its keyboard and mouse but its still practical for me to have it, writing, music, tv shows--on both netflix and the itunes store-- and yes even surfing the web and google earth. SUCK IT JOBS. 

Things that surprised me in this chapter: that they even thought about using an intel chip.... nope, the reasoning why they didn't go with the intel chip... not really, that Jobs.... no, stop it. 

For me iPad killed the iPhone more than video killed the radio star.
