Actually, what I wanted was an extremely lightweight netbook that could run Android apps, but Bluestack hasn't taken off yet. The fact that the keyboard is removeable is a huge bonus because it drops half the weight and size.

There will probably be something in the future that does more of what I want, but this is good enough to get me by for a few years.

As far as I know, the iPad can't do what I want, even if I replace 'android apps' with 'ipad/iphone apps'.
