You are trying to make the iPad something it is not designed to be and then comparing what it is not designed to be to something that is designed to be .....

Personally, I have seen scores of netbooks and they are a different kettle of fish. A netbook can act as a server in an emergency.

The iPad is strictly a client-side device for browsing the net, movies and photos, email and other pure "the net is the computer" tasks.

For docs, you can use Google Docs on the iPad Smilie
