Josh from talking to my family at a recent 70th Birthday party and the kids playing on th eiPadds the 'silver surfer' generation see them as a very user friendly way of getting on the internet and sending email over a pc which scares them, talking to aunts and uncles who have been terrified of technology they love them as there is no scope to 'cock it all up'

who'd have thunk it - well Steve did I guess

That's what I think they like about them too. I think the fact that a lot of the 'complicated' stuff is layed out really simply in the settings app- and having it explained rather than just 'OK' or 'Cancel' really helps.

The visual on/off button seems a lot less 'final' than 'save changes' or similar, too. Small things like that make it stand out from the crowd. I cannot stand the android tablets in work- too embarrassing when a customer asks me to demo one and something that would take me two seconds on an iPad takes 4/5 clicks and I start automatically tutting at it.
