iPad claim chowder

John Gruber in December on The Tablet:

One common prediction I disagree with is that The Tablet will simply be more or less an iPod Touch with a much bigger display. … If Apple’s starting with a hardware size where the iPhone OS can’t be used one-handed, then trust me, they’re designing a new interaction model.

Of course, it’s easy to be a pundit after the news breaks. Color me surprised that this was an evolution, not a revolution.
