I guess the real question about the iPad is whether it will change tablets, eReaders, etc., in the same manner as iPods changed MP3 players and iPhones changed cellphones. While I do have some MP3 players, and one is even an iPod-- the Third Generation one--I haven't found that iPod changed MP3ness for me at all, other than that the eBook reader app came out only a week after the iPod, which was very cool!!! I'm also not sure the iPhone changed cellphones for me much though I am considering getting one if the new announcement includes iPhones for Verizon, which it appears to be. I am sure the cost will be high to start with, so even if I will get an iPhone it won't be rush right down today. Personally, I thought Blackberry changed cellphones, Nokia, too, and a few others. iPhones and iPods just added "COOL" to the mix, which is fine with me, but I don't know if this really counts as a technological breakthrough, and I do not know if iPhones really were the CAUSE or the EFFECT of this new saturation level of cellphones. Well. . .yes. . .I do know. . . . If you will recall I have been watching cellphone levels as much as I watched disc drive growth, and I predicted that a new kind of cellphone competition would start to take place as soon as the world realized we had passed 50% saturation, and it is all too obvious that the iPhone was the result. Still, I can't fault Steve Jobs for really being the "ONLY" big one who really realized this tipping point was coming!
