It depends on what one means by real work. What about the optional bluetooth keyboard? It works great. The reason it can't replace a real computer such as a laptop is
1 lack of printing without jumping through hoops
2 a lack of multitasking
3 watered down capabilities in programs such as Pages and Numbers, Photoshop Express
4 No camera for video conferencing
5 Relatively small drive space. The max at 64 GB could ill up fast.
I don't think they were made to cannibalize the sales of laptops or desktops.
With 3 G capabilities it would make a great GPS.
