You're definitely right about that. For an enthusiast, the iPad is less than useless.

The iPad was designed for and will be marketed to idiots with no computer knowledge.

This is 2010. Computers are used for virtually everything and it's only going to increase from here. If you are computer illiterate, you are dumb and your lack of knowledge is seriously hindering you in this information age. Not knowing how to use a computer in the 21st century is like not knowing how to read.

Fortunately for Apple, these people still exist, though... they'll sell a ton of them.
