That's a little unfair on Apple, don't you think? As I said in a previous post, iPads have absolutely no requirement to use a PC app, or even to own a PC, in order to load content. They can be used as completely "standalone" devices. I know a couple of people who use an iPad as their sole computing device, and that's very much the road that Apple are going down these days.
