It's a "transformational device" in the sense that it allows people who didn't need/want to learn how to use a computer to use a computer.

I believe iPad didn't turn a computer user into an iPad user but it turned every non-computer person into an computer person.

It enabled none-tech oriented people to actually enjoy using a computer. I think this is the true revolution of an iPad.
