Bill Gates Comments on the ipad

It seems that Bill Gates, one of the founders of the electronics giants Microsoft in not impressed at all with Apple’s latest product, the ipad. In an interview with BNET’s Brent Schlender he has this to say in regards to the ipad vs Netbooks.

“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.”

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

“There’s nothing that the iPod does that I say, “Oh, wow, I don’t think we can do that.”
