The catch is that customers won’t accept the sudden closing of a previously open platform, that’s one of the reasons Palladium failed. But Apple has shown that users will accept most anything in an entirely new platform as long as it offers users the experience they want.</p></blockquote> <p class="cite">&mdash; <a href="http://rc3.org/2010/01/28/is-the-ipad-the-harbinger-of-doom-for-personal-computing/">Rafe Colburn</a></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/apple">apple</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ipad">ipad</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/open">open</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/palladium">palladium</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/rafe-colburn">rafe-colburn</a></p>
