To use an example, if things “just worked” then I'd be able
to copy music from my iPod back to my laptop, or from one
machine that I own to another.
True for the first part, as for the second: this feature is built in into iTunes, it even allows you to see the music that's not on your computer and copy it with a simple drag and drop.
The thing that will be interesting about the iPad is the experience
of using it — something that nobody has had except for the folks at
Apple — and as is always the case when dealing with a different type
of interface, you're always going to be wrong.
Not sure what he has in mind talking about experience. I gather few folks had a chance to try it out after it was presented and all were raving how fast that thing is.
Then a lot of folks keep saying "it's just a bigger iPhone", but don't know what the UX will be. Well, if it just a bigger iPhone (it's not) user experience is going to be as good, only better.
Then people cry and predict the end of hacking, tinkering and programming. Folks, don't forget: with iPad also comes out new free SDK. But maybe shouting about freedom is just a tad easier than using it.
