8. On the size: Its just a big iPhone, right? Size matters,
which is why a swimming pool is not just a big bathtub. - Ken
Case
9. On not having a real operating system So while we [techies]
trump up our skills at designing easy to use interfaces for our
applications, millions of people are still trying to gure out how
to get our beautifully designed application out of its zip le or
disk image. Or where in fact the Downloads folder is. Or what,
exactly, a folder is. [...] Ive watched rsthand as people whove
struggled to do basic computer tasks as long as Ive known them pick
up an iPhone and be cruising around within hours, if not minutes.
For people who do not already thoroughly understand computers, New
World devices are easier to understand and easier to use. - Steven
Frank
10. On multi-tasking In contrast [to computers], the iPad
becomes the app youre using. Thats part of the magic. The hardware
is so understated its just a screen, really and because you
manipulate objects and interface elements so smoothly and directly
on the screen, the fact that youre using an iPad falls away. Youre
using the app, whatever it may be, and while youre doing so, the
iPad is that app. Switch to another app and the iPad becomes that
app. If thats not magic, I dont know what is. - Adam C. Engst
