I have been seeing so many people have been focusing on what the iPad can’t do. To me, many of those “missing features” are a good thing. The lack of options we have come to expect in a world where options are plentiful (On the Mac, there are at least three ways to quit any application), are a bonus on a device like this. They are even more of a bonus for those who are not savvy computer users. It may come as a shock to us geeks, but many people can’t handle multiple choices on a computing device (How many ways are there to quit an app on the iPhone, and now, iPad? One. The Home button.). They learn the one way to do something and they always do it that way.
Furthermore, it is increasingly apparent that Apple feels that he moment you are presented with an option you are taken away from the experience and interaction with the device and that, my friends, is the secret sauce that Apple sells you. They have never been in the business of selling you a box. They sell you an experience and the more immersed you are in that experience, and the less choices you have to make, the more you can simply focus on what you need to get done.
My thoughts exactly.
