...in their homes. What are they going to use it for?
What a lot of people seem to be missing is the fact that this is just a coffee table Right this moment.
Once people get their hands on it who knows how it'll eventually be used? It doesn't matter who gets it
out the door first it's not going to be a static technology.
Someone's going to be sitting at their MSTable and think, "Gee, wouldn't it be cool if it could
do 'this?'" Eventually "this" will be something that's just in the background, not really noticed
beyond how it's being used at the moment.
I email on my computer, and then I surf the web, and then I watch... videos, and then I order music, and
then I buy a book... It does all of those things but in the end it's still just a computer! I mean a
calculator.
Don't think about what this thing does now, imagine what it'll be doing later.
And then remember the guy who evented a better calculator.
