There is nothing distinguishing Android from a conventional general-purpose computing OS, aside from the fact that it's designed to be used with a finger rather than a mouse. The question you're really asking is whether traditional computing tasks can be performed efficiently with a touch interface.

> There is nothing distinguishing Android from a conventional general-purpose computing OS Except the expectations of the consumer, which was, you know, the whole point of my post. The touch interface has literally nothing to do with it. To be totally clear, I agree that Android doesn't carry the same caveats as iOS and Windows RT, but in the eyes of the consumer, Windows and Android mean very different things.
