Jorgen sent along a link to a Betanews story that suggests the Apple iPad is perfect for baby boomers (55+ years) and older adopters. The author, Joe Wilcox, suspects the device’s multi-functionality yet relative ease-of-use, makes it a perfect fit. It’s a web browser and shopper, movie, music, email and reading device that doesn’t ask a lot from its user.
I think there’s some truth to the article, though it can be dangerous to generalize about that particular demographic. (I’m reminded of the 85-year-old man at a coffee shop I frequent who was reading an eBook on his iPhone.)
