@kenosha7777 The iPad was never designed to be a primary computing device although it comes close.
Oh... Really??? But then again that's NOT how Jobs and Apple have been spinning it. Why, they've got that abortion of an "office suite" iWorks for the iPad written just for it.
Why is it then that executive types figured they could sync the presentations they spent weeks writing and perfecting only to find that iWorks on the iPad butchered important bits of their documents to the point of making them unusable? They only found out that there were key portions removed after they'd left the office and were basically screwed.
And if things couldn't get worse, the iPad committed the cardinal sin of syncing the truncated document back over the SOURCE files, eradicating the original copy, and the removed portions - thus forcing the poor schmuck to be hoping the gods of Backup were smiling on them..
Sounds to me that Apple was indeed trying to pitch the iPad to be AS GOOD as a laptop. Remember, this is supposed to be a "Magical" and "Revolutionary" device. And it may actually fit that bill - provided you're not using any "fancy" features like footnotes, speaker notes, etc...
