Oh, I totally agree. I just think that for those small things, they won't really be missed. It's absolutely a drawback, but there are drawbacks to everything. I mean, the iPad isn't a netbook. My netbook can certainly do things the iPad can't. But the things that the iPad DOES, it does way better than my netbook can.
Reading thousand page PDFs for grad school is a pain in the ass on me netbook (that damn keyboard is always in the way and it's difficult to get into a comfortable position to read where you can still see the screen), but reading it on an iPad is a million times easier. My netbook has HDMI out and doubles as an HTPC, which is something my iPad won't be doing (even though it probably could with the right adapter, it won't do it as well as the netbook can). The battery on the iPad lasts longer than my netbook's battery (which still lasts a respectable 4.5 hours).
