Everything? You forgot serial port, CDROM, spade, bookshelf, engine, pharmacy and a trillion other things.

Your list isn't an objective "everything it's missing", it's a subjective "what you wish the ipad to have".

Question is, do you wish that unreservedly, or only if it could be done without 'ruining it'?

By definition, 'what you wish the iPad to have that it does not have' equals 'what the iPad is missing'.

If I expected it to operate as a razor and it could not while other similar devices did have that feature, then yes, I would say shaving capability was missing. That doesn't mean every irrelevant concept I can come up with would be called missing, though. 'Missing' is based on what one would expect, desire and can get elsewhere.
