Re: Pen-based what?!

I was led to believe that the iPad started off as development prototypes for iPhone, pre shrinking?

That the developers quite liked using them, and someone saw a niche for it?

Bit like the iMac losing the floppy drive, I didn't see the need for a keyboardless device. How would anyone get proper work done?

I didn't realise that for some computer users, using them for social media and casual gaming, they were ideal.
