iPad is a laptop killer

I thought the iPad was creating a whole new genre of technology, perhaps a computer for people who didn't have a computer before. If my grandmother didn't have a computer already but was interested in one, I'd point her that way.

But according to retail numbers, people are buying iPads instead of laptops. It makes sense - most computer users aren't power users that need lots of features. The simpler, shinier iPad is exactly what they want.
