Bryan Gonzalez, director of social and digital media at the Entertainment Technology Center at the University of Southern California, pointed to Jobs’ definition of the iPad 2 as a “post-PC” device as evidence that tablets are changing the way people think about home computing.
“Apple also announced that iTunes, the App Store and iBooks, and has reached more than 200 million open accounts with credit cards on file, which translated to 200 million users who are ready and actively purchasing from the various Apple digital stores,” Gonzalez said. “More so than any other digital content provider, Apple has established a very large base of potential buyers of digital content.”
