There is a reason the iPad is the most desired U.S. holiday gift item, especially among kids ages 6 to 12. There is a reason the second fastest group to adopt iPads is the 65 and up age demographic. The iPad is a computer that is ushering in computing to demographics for whom a traditional clamshell PC is too complex or even frightening.

I’ll sum up my thoughts on this debate with the most common response I get when I ask consumers “What is an iPad?”

Their answer, plain and simple: “It’s a computer.”
