It's said by people who did not immediately understand that the iPhone would be such a huge success even though it was obvious to people who understood technology. These people now think that the iPad is the same thing even though people who actually get technology realize that it absolutely isn't. People commenting need to reflect carefully on their own ability to judge new tech.

A lot of people who understood technology thought that the iPhone would flop. It was too expensive, wasn't a business oriented smartphone, and Apple was a newcomer in the cell phone industry so how could anyone think that they would displace the big players?

The iPhone turned out to be a game changer. A lot of people that get technology think that it might be the only computing device that most people will need.

If that's true for the iPhone, it's much truer for the iPad. (Posted from one)
