Back on early 2007 jobs and gates together on an interview, talked about how the personal device will look like in 5 years. now we can see the result, ipad and then ipad2. did jobs really implemented the bill gates idea? i guess it takes more than 3-4 years to design and create device like ipad. may be steve has already started working on. his expression seems so to me.
Bill says
I don't think you will have one device. I think you will have full screen device that you can carry around. and you will do dramatically more reading and i believe in tablet form factor. ...........
once again have a look this video.
