Newsweek hates, then loves, the iPad
The best quip from Phillip Elmer-DeWitt’s CNN article:
Lyons is better known in tech circles — and probably better read — as the formerly-anonymous author of The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs.
To be fair, Lyons acknowledges his unfounded cynicism in the original video and the follow up “flip-flop” article:
Yet my first thought, as I watched Jobs run through his demo, was that it seemed like no big deal. It’s a bigger version of the iPod Touch, right? Then I got a chance to use an iPad, and it hit me: I want one. Like the best Apple products, the user interface is so natural it disappears.
