The important part:

"Check out the weight and size of the smallest iBook. is damn-near,
size-wise, what one would expect of a tablet as it is."

Before the iPad, tablets were keyboardless laptops.

ie, stupid.

After the iPad, tablets are . . . tablets.

THAT is the key innovation that came from losing the stylus and going
with the capacitative multi-touch UI.

Adding an awesome graphics stack (to be a first-class game machine),
awesome performance & battery life thanks to Apple's integrated SOC
processor/RAM combo, 802.11n to support HD streaming -- these are all
nice bonuses.

Also like that Safari will now be able to have extensions... I bet the other
