Holy Shit

Y-Combinator's now looking for iPad startups:

Most people think the important thing about the iPad is its form factor: that it's fundamentally a tablet computer. We think Apple has bigger ambitions. We think the iPad is meant to be a Windows killer. Or more precisely, a Windows transcender. We think Apple foresees a future in which the iPad is the default way people do what they now do with computers (and some other new things).

This took me completely by surprise. While the iPad seems more and more like a computer ordinary people would choose over the desktop/laptop, it is - to me - complete unprecedented that Y-Combinator would be so forward-thinking as to demand a startup built around the iPad. And the coolest bit about this is that they're pretty much putting their money where their mouths are. I am floored, Paul Graham. Floored.
