Rupert Murdoch Thinks Tablets will End Laptops, Praises Jobs

The interview from a network that Mr. Murdoch’s company owns was part of the marketing blitz Mr. Murdoch and News Corp. are engaging in to promote the release of The Daily, a new iPad-only (for now) daily newspaper.

Technically, Mr. Murdoch is fudging history a bit in that it was Steve Jobs who recognized Steve Wozniak’s invention of the Apple I computer for its potential; and, while Mr. Jobs headed the team that developed the Macintosh computer (which could be what Mr. Murdoch was thinking about when he said “invented the personal computer”), Mr. Jobs wasn’t at Apple for the development of the Mac Portable or the PowerBook.
