The iPad has been, for years, Apple’s vision of the future of computers. But it’s ended up as a device in parallel evolution to the Mac. Apple’s finally promising some changes in the iPad’s software to make it work even better as a computer for everyone, maybe even coming closer to replacing a Mac.
