I have no intention of getting an iPad and generally strongly dislike Apple (frivolous legal threats will do that), but you couldn't be more off the mark if you tried. Yes, the iPad is primarily used for consumption, but 1) there's no reason you can't build content creation tools that are web-based, if you want to skip the app store, and 2) the biggest uses of computers in non-work settings are purely consumption-based; do you plan on crucifying Mozilla for building a web browser that's generally used for checking Facebook and reading the news?

Get out of your ivory tower.
