For many people, using a tablet and storing their documents in the Cloud is an entirely satisfactory solution to their needs.
Of course, that doesn't mean that there's anything inherently wrong with a device that does require a PC or Mac to pair with, such as the Sony, but that requirement is one which is becoming increasingly less common.

Of course, Harry, you're right, I was making a joke, but what constitutes a "computer" keeps getting redefined. An iPad is still a computer, as is the iPhone. Like I mentioned a couple of times, an iOS app that allowed us to synch documents with the RP1 would be a useful thing to have, and maybe we'll get it, although I don't have any specific knowledge about that.
I can live without cloud integration, though, and, well, as a programmer, I look for ways to solve my problems with what I have, and not complain about the things that I don't have.
