Apple Becomes World's Biggest Maker of Computers, Thanks to iPad →

parislemon:

Cue dozens of people screaming bloody murder: “THE IPAD IS NOT A PC!!!!!!!”

Cue millions of the rest of us laughing at those people.

Just as with the move from desktops to laptops, the transition to tablets (or “pads” as Canalys humorously refers to them) is underway.

“But, but, but… it doesn’t have a keyboard!” Yes it does.

“But, but, but… it doesn’t have a physical keyboard!” How’s that argument working out for RIM?

“But, but, but… it doesn’t run PC software!” Who gives a shit? Clearly not the people buying millions of the devices each quarter.

All you need to know about the “is the iPad a PC?” argument: are people buying them instead of traditional PCs? Sure looks like it. 

iPad is a PC. It’s very personal, and it computes.
