Of course, you are right. But my point here is that while people will be more forgiving for a small and convenient device like an iphone, they will expect much more from the ipad. And these 2 problems will seriously hurt ipad sales, if Apple doesn't fix them. All the functionality of the ipad is covered by other devices people already own (phones and netbooks/laptops). So you do need some serious reasons to shell out for another device -- and a giant ipod with all the same restrictions as the iphone probably won't sell beyond the hardcore fan base, once people really look at the strings attached.
