Apple is building desktop-class processors for iPad so that it can operate as a thin network client for a Linux server somewhere? That strategy doesn't make too much sense.

It only makes no sense if you have a black/white view of the world.

Some apps will run on device and need the full performance e.g. video editing. Other apps will be a thin client.

But the iPad could be so much more. It is a highly performance platform. Great CPU, GPU, SSD ... So yeah it's just being held back by Apple
