It took iPhone (wildly successful) and Net books (disappointing) and Tablet PCs (very disappointing) AND most importantly the Kindle (wildly successful) to move us beyond the printed page. Cool stuff. Media publishers are also seeing these devices as their only means of survival. See the book You are Not a Gadget (read it on your Kindle!) by Jaron Lanier.
