I think you just proved my point. None of the functionality you mentioned is missing from off-brand MIDs but people needed Apple to say they needed that functionality. And again, the iPad isn't a tablet, it's an Apple-branded PMP/MID. Even if you use apps as the argument, WinMo based PMP/MIDs have millions of apps by comparison, which doesn't suddenly turn
them into tablets.

Once again, branding, my very point.

I just don't buy the "deceiving themselves" argument for any product.

"Even though nearly 60% of all netbook owners say they purchased their netbook because of its portability, almost 60% say they use it solely in the home."
I also gave the example of the iPhone sales increase despite the total cost of the phone and plan INCREASING just because the initial outlay was a little bit less. You give consumers a little too much credit.
As for trying to discredit by making it about an Anti-Apple stance, that's unbecoming particularly when I have several Apple products.
