There is absolutely no one I know who uses a tablet as their primary work computer. No one. That analogy instantly breaks down because of this. As if everyone drives to work primarily using their trucks.

The even more sad thing is that the iPad hardware is absolutely capable to be the primary computer for people. It's simply Apples refusal to allow a real OS to run on it that keeps holding it back.

Young people, the poor, many people in developing countries tend to all be mobile only. I don't have hard figures but i would estimate the number of people who do all their "computing" on a phone or tablet numbers in the billions.

Right. a phone/tablet is still better then nothing.

It's not so much about having a real OS than about the input. Mouse & keyboard is just so much better.

Ipad has Mouse & keyboard

As a secondary option. Compare with Surface (Pro), which has the opposite "issue".
