Currently everyone in the Apple community is focused on the iPhone, including me. But there is something more interesting going on. Everyone else seems to be buying an iPad. Visiting different offices, talking to different people, I realized how many non-Apple-geeks recently bought an iPad. I was especially astound by the number of iPads that showed up on peoples desks at the office within just the last month .. A quiet revolution is in progress.
