"In Japan, millions of novels have been written on cell phones. My great-grandfather wrote his Ph.D. dissertation with a #2 pencil. Chaucer, Shakespeare and Jefferson wrote their brilliant works with bird feathers. Yet the iPad's critics say creation is impossible using a device that would have been a Pentagon supercomputer 20 years ago. The computers that today's writers say are absolutely necessary for writing didn't even exist 10, 20 or 30 years ago. Is that when they think literacy started?"

The article was saying ...
One gabber talked about how people need to write e-mails and other things, adding, "I just don't think people are going to give that up."
ROTFLMAO ...
Where do these people get these "pundits" that discuss the merits of a wildly successful new product of Apple's ... LOL ...
At least the consumers have shown that they are a lot smarter than some of these pundits ... :-)

I played with one at an Apple store, not expecting much. The onscreen keyboard was a lot more responsive than I was expecting. The content was beautifully displayed.
The downside is that it’s just too heavy for what is essentially a handheld device. Get that puppy under a pound and I’d buy one in two seconds flat.

The article touches on an important point - journalists look at the iPad and see the Grim Reaper. Of course they are going to play up its negatives.
The MSM, the teachers unions, the music industry - all of the content robber barons are terribly threatened by technology. The end of their reign is not far off.

"The naysayers who argue it's only for consuming digital content are wrong"No they are not. Will there be Adobe/Office style aps written to do actual work? Probably. When the dust settles will most of the users 'work' on and iPad? Nope.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I’ll still wait until I can afford the MacBook Air.
