As a daily and happy user of an iPad I think these devices still have a long way to go before they become a desktop replacement. Let me illustrate this by outlining a bunch of small tasks I, as a music collector, am confronted with several times a week: - buy a bunch of releases from bandcamp or other digital stores - download them - extract them - if necessary convert them to Apple Lossless (ALAC) at 44.1 KHz / 16 Bit - check and adjust the meta data / tags of the files and have them renamed accordingly - move them to my NAS from where they are served to various devices and players around the house All of these tasks are fairly simple and should be easily handled by an iPad, yet the OS and lack of a real file browser is limiting the device's abilities to such an extent that I have to get back to my desktop to handle these mundane duties. You might argue that my use case is a very niche one, the ways in which computers are used are made of countless niche applications and tasks, which repeatedly show the limitations of tablets and phones, despite their potential.
