>>It's just that the wild success of the iPad speaks for itself.

That sounds a bit like:
"It doesn't matter whether or not you understand it.. anything.com is really worth $100/share or that house is really worth a zillion dollars because that's what people are willing to pay for it."

So far, I've heard that the principal benefit of the Ipad, or any tablet, is convenient mobility because of light weight. That means that the frequently mobile laptop user can have a lighter load, and the current Iphone user can have a larger screen, as I see it.

I'm neither of them, but that's OK and i'm happy for those people, but is that "seismic?"

What else am i missing?
