The existence of lots of apps (already, before the device is even available) for creating content completely refutes this absurd argument.

On both a PC or an iPad, you can (for free or for pay) download lots of other peoples' content. And on both there are lots of opportunities for creating your own content. They don't completely overlap (each will be better for different scenarios) and that's exactly why both types of device should continue to exist.

To conflate the inability for one to compile one's own kernel with being unable to be creative on the device is silly.
