Edit: seems it's about the GUI moving from 'point-and-click' to 'touch-and-pinch'...

Ars Technica: So what's the obsession? What if the iPad doesn't even succeed? Case isn't worried about it.

“In five to ten years, there will be really big multitouch screens, like on an iMac or something, and we'll be touching and moving things around instead of clicking and dragging,” Case said. “This effort is an investment in the future. It's forcing us to look at our applications—for the iPad and the Mac—in a completely different way and improve upon it as user interaction changes.”
