And most people don't produce content on their personal computers, yet this thread screams of people scrambling to justify the purchase of $500-$600 devices that are built to consume primarily and I suggest near exclusively (and dismiss the Kindle Fire because it makes no bones about being media-based). There is this auspice of them being used as "productivity tools" but I can only think of rare occasions where I would agree and they're very highly specialized apps where again, a cheap commodity ARM device could be produced, run Linux and run the application just as easily without major costs to the organizations that are paying Apple an arm and a leg to have a flashy device.
