That's not exactly what I meant. My post above wasn't that well phrased. The problem is that if you do all those things on an iPad, you don't own your data. It belongs to whatever walled garden you're working in. Uninstall the app and your data is gone. Stop renting cloud and your data is gone. The company running the app goes bankrupt and your data might be gone. This is the fundamental difference I see between "mobile" and "desktop" ecosystems. Mobile is designed from the ground up to place you into a much more subservient relationship to vendors. I've described the mobile ecosystem as "feudal computing."
