The iPad’s journey beyond the PC is only just getting started, argues DAVID CHARTIER, and Apple is in it for the long haul.
BACK IN 2007, after Jobs walked off the stage from unveiling the iPhone, one of the people he spoke with was Alan Kay. A pioneer of early computers and also the first graphical interface, Kay famously told Jobs: “Make the screen five inches by eight inches, and you’ll rule the world.”
Once Apple debuted such a screen in 2010 with the iPad, it initially coined the term “post-PC device” to try to contextualize the iPad’s progressive, though at times nebulous, place in technology’s landscape. More recently, Apple has started making a direct pitch for the iPad as a PC replacement. Of course, there is still plenty of work to do toward that goal. But I think a number of Apple’s recent moves have laid the foundation for some significant evolution to come, and probably soon.
