You are right, this could have been Amiga (or AmigaOne or whatever), but it isn't, Amiga is hampered by the lack of software and the lack of a polished OS. The people who should be kicking themselves today are the folks in Redmond, they've had tablets forever they've had the financial resources and the manpower and all they've come out with is the pathetic Windows CE. Apple really understands how to make a usable device for the masses.
Even after yesterday I heard an American radio station discussing how Apple can sell this to Walmart shoppers, this isn't a device for Walmart shoppers, it's a device for the educated middle class, who will line up up long queues at the Apple store to buy this.
