  Arguing that a device cannot do something it was never even designed to
do in the first place is rather silly. You could as well make the same
argument from videogame consoles and it would be equally valid.

  The iPad is not a laptop. Don't expect it to work like a laptop.

  You don't expect consoles to work like laptops. Why do you expect the iPad
to work like a laptop?
