@smokey I mean to say that I can understand the iOS-centric optimists (I've noticed a lot of cross-over with this crowd and people like STS who think Marzipan will definitely be great and that Microsoft's hardware is good enough to forgive Windows, neither of which I think are true) but I do not believe the Mac's role at the time of the iPod boom can be reproduced; the closest thing I can think of for today, during the iPhone boom, is the iPad but it's nowhere near ready to take on such a role.
