How will developers create new applications for the iPhone OS without the Mac?
Just think about this question to see how this article is utterly nonsensical. Contrary to what the Apple apologists are saying Apple do not have "user experience" as it main concern. What is really happening is just a transition, Apple is becoming more and more a digital content distributor and less of the hardware/software company that it was in the past will remain, but it will not be obliterated, and the iPad is just a materialization of this police of a company that is trying to win more money in this market.
