Bill Gates speaks on the iPad
The folks over at Bnet sat down with big Bill and asked what he thought of Apple's latest creation. He didn't down right diss' the iPad but similarly didn't sing it's praises.
“You know, I’m a big believer in touch and digital reading, but I still think that some mixture of voice, the pen and a real keyboard - in other words a netbook - will be the mainstream on that,” he said. “So, it’s not like I sit there and feel the same way I did with iPhone where I say, ‘Oh my God, Microsoft didn’t aim high enough.’ It’s a nice reader, but there’s nothing on the iPad I look at and say, ‘Oh, I wish Microsoft had done it.’”
So the mention of a 'pen', looks like he's still a fan of those stylus' (styli?). To be fair to Bill he does know a thing or two about tablet PCs - he's been trying to sell them for years!
