Steve Jobs on iPad

Jobs presented the iPad as a third category of device, better than laptops for browsing, email, media, and reading, and argued that its touch-first design made it feel natural to hold. He also said the tablet idea came before the iPhone, and later defended the iPad’s 10-inch size as essential to good apps and a stronger user experience.

“The iPad is the best way to browse the web”
“I actually started on the tablet first.”
“These are among the reasons we think the current crop of 7-inch tablets are going to be DOA, dead on arrival.”
