Happy Third Birthday to the iPad!

A fun look back:

A look back at the iPad naysayers | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

I love that I -- a total non-geek -- didn't have blinders on and immediately embraced Kindle and iPad, because such gadgets have made life so much more fun and convenient. I would have hated to have missed out.

That is brilliant Kay, I particularly liked this.....

In the end, I think that the iPad will eventually be regarded much like Apple TV – a product that Jobs should have left on the drawing boards.

Yes, lots of laughs in retrospect.

Steve Jobs also miscalled things, though. He dismissed Kindle when Amazon blazed that trail, lol.

And he doubted Android phones' potential:

<< He was equally skeptical about Google’s decision to develop smartphone software. Google bought a small start-up called Android several years ago, and a team of developers is now putting the finishing touches on an open-source smartphone operating system designed to rival both the iPhone and Microsoft’s Windows Mobile software. >>
