This is exactly why we're doing this. Companies are still treating the iPad as a toy and its productivity features are lacking. We started with a docking solution kickstarter - http://www.completedock.com/ http://www.completedock.com/ which we planned to extend with a Surface-like keyboard solution. Then we realized productivity apps aren't up to snuff and that solutions using Apple TV and external keyboards might be the answer to some input and output issues. We're actively brainstorming and trying to attack the problem on both the hardware and software fronts. This is our second attempt. As for open platforms, they're a whole different story. Unfortunately most users don't seem to care enough. The web however is quite open. You can access any website without an app store. Also, if we can get a web-based IDEs for web apps to work decently, that would be a step towards a more open iPad. Apple doesn't seem to mind web apps so this might actually work.
