I think his assessment of the original iPad being obsolete is a bit strong. I still actively use mine - now granted - I don't have some of the newest features, but obsolete is a bit strong.

Agreed. The diagram struck me, however. Simple, but true.

I can see the advantage of having the option to do some touch-screen actions on my laptop. I really dislike touchpads, and I think it would be nice to swipe an application away, scroll, or some similar gross gestures. However, I still enjoy the precision of my mouse for photoshop, and copy/paste. The iPad/iPhone copy/paste makes me angry at times. I really can't stand the MacBook copy/paste. It's either too sensitive, or not sensitive enough. I'm not a big fan of tablets as they stand. I don't use our iPad very much.
