Nothing was really designed to be operated by your pudgy fingers, it just screamed impractical every time he had to effectively do single finger typing with his stylus.
Of course, typing on the iPad is no less impractical. iOS's UI shines in non-typing interactions, but the virtual keyboard is even less usable in the tablet form factor than on a phone. A touchscreen is inherently crap for typing unless you have a specialized mode of interaction like Swype.
If tablets make sense at all, then at least Apple is doing tablets right.
Or they're doing marketing right, which has always been the core strength of the modern Apple.
