Re: Smaller, lighter, faster, smarter......




Apple is paternalistic.  They control the experience and any advances to that experience.  A small amount of this is justified from a stability perspective, but much is not.  In the grand scheme of things the pace of chance within iOS has been breakneck when compared to computer OS's and most anything else though.  I remember when I first so the iPad I thought 'great - it's a giant iPod touch' - but the app and iOS development has let it be so much more.  iOS 5 will be the first iOS to be computer free.  In the keynote, Steve Jobs specifically mentioned that some families are using it as their only computing device (hence the need to lose the itunes tethering requirement).  A logical extension is that they will eventually allow multiple user accounts.   How soon?  Not too sure.  It's possible it will never happen too.


PS - Tim, Mr Jobs just wants to world's porn in HTML5....
