I have a feeling that the iPad is only for people who really hate computers and don't want to be bothered with anything more complicated than one button. The thing that worries me though is that I can see younger generations bypassing computers entirely in favor of smartphones and iPad type consumer devices. If people submit to the will of corporations via these locked down devices, they won't be in control of their futures any more. People need to learn how to program, not how to be a slave.
