I am often wrong, just ask my wife.
As for this, I am not saying that my opinion is the only one, I am saying that the OP's opinion is not valid with regard to all factors involved - and giving some reasons why not. It isn't really a debate as there can only be one possible way that someone will use a pad (in a business sense) in preference to a computer that is designed for running business software when all options are considered. Purely personal preference. Some guys like Blondes, I like Redheads - but I am not about to divorce my wife for one.
As for "one path, one solution", in business and gaming, what I say is correct. Business and gaming are the only two areas that I am discussing, and as they drive the industry, they are the real issue. I am not a gamer, I don't play with computers, nor do almost all of those who I deal with. I use them to make a living, and I would be very foolish not to use the most suitable for the purpose. I have yet to see or hear of any corporation or even small business replacing computers with pads. They cannot run business software, no tax software, no database, no office suite, no storage capacity. They cannot be used to design, develop or support a web site. They are effectively exactly what I said, a compromise. A way of mimicking "some" of the functionality of a computer.
What is "wrong" about what I am saying? What would you like to debate?
If you get away from business, I am sure that many people might use a pad as their only computing device, but that is a different issue. In that area they become consumer toys - entertainment devices.
