I could sit here and say that this year’s Macworld Expo was a disaster for a number of reasons, but I’m not going to. I did not attend this year’s oddly-timed expo (it started Tuesday and ended on Saturday and in February, no less)…
With today’s iPad announcement, I’m starting to think that there’s something wrong and confusing how Apple’s operating systems are described. You have three different product families with standalone operating systems: the iPod touch/iPhone, the iPad (which is a bit of an extension of the iPhone OS), and the various Macs.
