So no... it won't blend. It won't hammer nails. It won't microwave your food. It won't burn CDs. If you think it's supposed to, then you don't understand the market.
I think that is AustinChief's main hangup. He envisions the tablet as being a "tablet PC." A flat screen, touch screen that will totally replace your PC. I think that's a whole other iteration of what we're seeing now that will be coming far, far down the pipe for the mainstream consumer. In the meantime, Apple is cackling their merry asses to the bank as they dominate the current market and watch everyone else try to catch up with them.
Apple isn't trying to emulate PC functionality. They're trying to create a new lifestyle device that seamlessly merges into a user's daily routines.
