The problem is, the ipad is not something made to CREATE content, it's something made to CONSUME content.
That will naturally goes against all natural instinct of IT-guys (including me), they use their high-tech gadgets to create one thing or another. Music, video, photo, websites, and therefor want as many features in some thing as possible, no matter the consequences.
Thing is... I already have all the tools to CREATE. I'm not going to compile, or numbercrunch on my iPhone. Nor would I edit pictures, burn CDs, debug a website with it. I have better tools for those tasks.
No the iPhone is there for me to consume content while on-the-road. The Ipad will be there for me to consume content while at home.
And you can't deny that an large IPS-screen, with fluid OS fitted for fingeroperating, is better at consuming a wider range of contenttypes comfortably than lessay a netbook or an ereader.
