Thanks for reminding all of us that we are not the customer! I still have serious issues with the pricing for connectivity, which AT&T and Apple will need to adjust. On the needs/evolution front, you make great points. I guess the future is an empirical question... Nice arguments. Thanks for reminding all of us that we are not the customer!

I believe laptops will become the new desktops and many consumers could end up spending more time on the iPad than a laptop. Maybe not today, but give it a few years... Check out my blog post on the topic. I respond to some of your points as well although my blog post is not specifically in response to your analysis.

It's, for now, aimed at people who primarily consumer content, and long-term, it's introducing an entirely new paradigm for user interaction with computers. If anything, I think the mistake in this post is underestimating Job's goals. I expanded on this point here: http://bent.tw/l/54 Looking forward to your class next semester!
