The point you are completely missing is that this is a mass market device.

Designed to do certain things and to do them well. It was never designed to replace laptops.

The mass market don't give a hoot about laptops with touchscreens that swivel, they don't want to bother with installing firewalls or spyware cleaners and all that baggage that comes with a PC. They probably already have one.

This was built as an easy user friendly device that allows you to surf the web, read books, magazines etc, listen to music, watch movies etc etc.

It's a multimedia device not a computer, designed to use in the home not in the business.

Multitasking and Flash could easily be brought to the device with a software update. (if they felt the need for it)
