As I wrote about what the kingpin of the social networking giant said:
Ben Parr of Mashable asked a question everyone has been speculating about recently?whether and when there would be an iPad app for Facebook coming.
A fumbling ?no comment? would have worked fine, but the real Zuckerberg seemed to have decided to channel the clever Aaron Sorkin-ish repartee of the fictional Zuckerberg in the movie ?The Social Network.?
?It?s not mobile?it is a computer,? he said flatly.
?I think Apple would disagree with you,? noted Parr.
?Well, sorry,? Zuckerberg spat out, his voice dripping with the kind of sarcasm that only a super-nerdy Silicon Valley engineer can pull off properly.
I disagreed, noting:
The iPad is a computer, because that is technically true, even though that makes a smartphone a computer too. (And, now that I think of it, my car is a computer.)
But actual civilians don?t make these kinds of distinctions and, if one spends any time watching consumers use tablets, mobile is entirely how they think of it.
The post got a lot of comments, and tweets too, so I thought I would post a survey so that everyone can cast their own vote.
And I won?t blame the economy if I lose, so click away (and I will post the results later):
