It should be argued that the iPad has not changed society as a whole.

It is not the first tablet computer. It is not the first computer with downloadable apps. It is not the first touchscreen device.

It HAS changed the computer industry, moving the focus of software development away from titles bought at a computer store, installed from a DVD, and stored on a hard drive. The Apple App Store is the #1 software retailer in the world, and iTunes the #1 music store. The focus of new operating systems, including the upcoming Windows 8, accounts for lower-powered mobile CPUs, various resolution screens, and touch surface operation at the core of the system.
