Makes me think of: Alex Payne - The Moderate's Position on iPad Openness. Will be curious what you think once you handle. It's a joy to touch. Making converts quickly.
"Do I still think the iPad is “cynical”? I think it’s cynical of Apple
to have a device that’s so closed from the get-go, but the goals of
the device are so endearingly humanistic that you can’t really call it
anything but hopeful. I think I was probably wrong on this count, but
it’s something you can’t really understand until you’ve interacted
with the thing."
