No, you are not wrong in all this. Personally, I don't get the iPad at all - seems anything it can do is done better with my Samsung netbook running Linux, and there are many things my Sammy can do that the iPad can't. As you have just noted. Yet the netbook has similar form factor, similar battery life and is about half the cost. Go figure.
