Most people I know or hear of, don't have clue of what a Tablet is when they buy it, and yet they do. It's the "to do" thing these days.
I didn't know that you knew my wife!
She has an iPad that she got to replace the netbook that she got to replace the laptop that she got to replace the iPod Touch that she got in addition to her iPhone.
None of which she knows how to operate in any but the most rudimentary fashion. That is, she makes and receives phone calls on the iPhone. I think she one time looked at an email on the Touch. I put Rosetta Stone on the laptop, but she never ran it. To the best of my knowledge she has never used the netbook. She takes the iPad on trips to read her email. But, by golly, she is proud to know that she has all the latest toys.
