離開Nokia的Horace Dediu， 在他的新Asymco公司上提出新一代電腦的定義：
"The definition of a new generation of computing is that the new products rely on new input and output methods, and allow a new population of
non-expert users to use the product more cheaply and simply"."
新一代電腦，就是一個，有新的輸出和輸入，加上可讓非專家使用的簡單又便宜的裝置。"
他不好意思講的太清楚，但只有iPad！
根據Macworld，蘋果創辦人之一，Steve Wozniak，接受訪問時提出他對Tablet的觀點：
平板就是普通人用的電腦，"The tablet is not necessarily for the people in the room, it's for the normal people in the world. "
他也說這一直都是Steve Jobs一開始創造蘋果的本意：
"I think Steve Jobs had that intention from the day we started Apple, but it was just hard to get there, because we had to go through a lot of steps where you connected to things, and (eventually) computers grew up to where they could do ... normal consumer appliance things." "Steve Jobs在我們創立蘋果的第一天就有這樣的意圖，但當時做到這一點很難，因為我們需要邁出很多步去克服，但最終電腦還是得需要能夠滿足普通消費者的日常應用" (全文見
Tablet is the PC for 'normal' people.)
這就是蘋果的哲學！蘋果對電腦的定義！
老人不禁要說：
"當科技技術成熟時，就要走入簡單
！當科技技術成熟時，就要更人性！當科技技術成熟時，還想把它弄的複雜是PC界失敗的主因！"
很多人，就是搞不清楚！人人會用，2到98歲都會，就是蘋果慨念！
