What exactly do tablets do, at any price, if not run apps and surf the web? They play movies, music, games. There are some excellent apps for note-taking, productivity, word-processing, etc. As an eBook reader, the iPad is extraordinary.
That's what they're designed for at this point. If you want an actual computer, buy one. If you want a tablet to replace a computer, wait six years or so. The iPad killer isn't going to do what the iPad doesn't for less money; if possible, it will do exactly what the iPad does for less money.
