Aren't there handwriting apps for iPhone? I could have sworn I've seen some, and if there aren't then someone should totally write one because they'd make a fortune. A quick google turns up several open-source handwriting recognition projects, and I'll bet at least one of those could be ported to iPhone easily enough.
Also, who is "they"? People are always talking about "they" and never specify, like we're supposed to be swayed by the word of some anonymous and possibly fictional "they".
ADDITION: Y'know, whether or not any exist yet maybe I should try porting some handwriting recognition software to iphone, that'd be a popular app...

Combine the two ideas and add oh say a USB hub for a controller and boom, you can now play any game anywhere you get net (yes yes yes I know I am ignoring some realities, but I can dream) or at least generally perform emulated processes that are computed externally. Almost like a moble mainframe computer setup. And technically that would only qualify as '1' program, even if you were emulating a desktop or something somewhere else.

The tradeoff for the iPad would be sacrificing power, a proper keyboard, and the ability to multitask in order to lose a pound of weight and a couple of inches of bag space. Ain't worth it if you ask me.

I think it's filling the niche for all those people who aren't really comfortable with computers per se, who would be the least vocal people on the internet. I figure my mum and dad would get a lot more out of an iPad than they would a regular computer/laptop for example. It's easy to buy, install and use programs just by jabbing your fnger at stuff. It does away with having to find your files, with worrying about why some program won't work, and all that kinda stuff that some people like because it gives them "more control" over what they're doing, but other people just find difficult or annoying.
I figure most nerds on internet forums would probably get more out of a computer/laptop than an iPad, hence we aren't the "target market".
