It seems like yesterday that the Apple naysayers were laughing at the name iPad, saying it sounds like a sanitary napkin. They said there was no market for a product that is between a smartphone and a laptop but is neither. As usual Apple proved them wrong by reawakening a dead concept by improving it and making it attractive, fun, and full of unrealized uses.

They aren’t through, either.

“They said there was no market for a product that is between a smartphone and a laptop but is neither.”

I am probably the millionth person to ask this, but what is this market?

I’m not trying to be a wiseguy, but am curious about the reasons for having an iPad, considering the existence of laptops and iPhones.
