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.
Cheers
