An iPad can't do things that this does; in particular, any pine product gives you full control the device and the ability to execute arbitrary code.

The point of this device is precisely being able to move away from iPads/Android tablets.

I'm tired of not being able to uninstall Dropbox because Samsung doesn't want me to.
