Apple's Mac Killer Unveiled
Kimberly White, Reuters / Landov Today Steve Jobs finally presented his highly anticipated new tablet computer, the iPad. Douglas Rushkoff on how it could cannibalize Apple’s own product line—and make your Mac obsolete.
Beyond the hype, style, and speculation, the truth is that the iPad is really just another tablet device. A really big PDA, where a touchscreen does what a laptop's keyboard used to do.
What makes the iPad so new and different, of course, is that instead of you having to find a bootleg copy of Apple's OS X operating system and install it illegally on an existing netbook or tablet PC, now you get to have a real Mac system pre-installed on a super-lightweight device that’s fully capable of running it.
