Gates' Thoughts on the iPad

Here, finally, is one point on which the two giants of computing, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, completely disagree on. Steve says netbooks are better at nothing, where as Bill's view is the polar opposite:

'You know, I'm a big believer in touch and digital reading, but I still think that some mixture of voice, the pen and a real keyboard - in other words a netbook - will be the mainstream on that.'

He added “So it’s not like I sit there and feel the same way I did with the iPhone where I say, ‘Oh my God, Microsoft didn’t aim high enough. Unimpressed by the iPad, Bill goes on to say that he It’s a nice reader, but there’s nothing on the iPad I look at and say, ‘Oh, I wish Microsoft had done that.”

Don't tell that to Disney CEO Robert Iger though, who brings out the dreaded 'game changer' tag when describing the potential he sees in the iPad for the creation of 'essentially new forms of content.' Lest we forget, Steve Jobs also sits on the Disney board, so this could be just a friendly tip of the hat by Iger. Either way, we're curious to see what new content Disney might scratch up, as well as to find out who's right in this newfound binary question: keyboard-equipped netbooks or longevous, ultrathin tablets -- what say you, will a stylus make the iPad just what you want?
