stupid as Apple assumes all it's customers are morons not able to make
choices for themselves.

No, Apple doesn't treat its customers like morons. It knows they want
a seamless experience above all. That requires intelligently limiting
choices. They don't always get it right first time, but you can tell

I intend to get an iPad next year. If I'm honest, it can do 90% of
what I use a computer for outside of work. 10 hours of batter life and
the cheap 3g will make it a brilliant travel companion.
