Should I get an iPad or a Chrome OS for my mom?
The ipad is probably more expensive than the Chrome OS... but the browser experience is better, much better. I'm bending towards buying an iPad for my mom, so that she'll start using a computer, finally! She bought a laptop because she wanted to get in touch with her kids and friends through gmail. But does she use it? Hell no! That wifi is too damn complicated to setup for her. She uses it with *reluctance*. She makes a sacrifice to stay in touch. With the iPad, she'll actually enjoy the connectivity experience and the web-browsing (at least I hope she will).
My 2 cents is that Apple will reach out to a new audience of tech consumers. The 60 year old and above info-excluded folk. But only the future will tell. We'll see...
