Hmmm...
I think you're wrong because you're only looking at it from a "power user's" perspective. It sound's like you're disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing. I'm trying to sum up your perspective but in order to see the whole picture you must look at it from a non-power user perspective. Non-power user's far outnumber techies that hate for anyone to mess with their "full power" desktop/laptops. But bottom line is, most users don't want the most powerful system available to man in order to check their email and browse the web. What the tablet does is allows a majority of the people to do the little that they do very quickly and conveniently.
I'm not going to dispute you on all your negativity but the one thing I thought was funny was item #10. If you're in a browser, you still have to at least Ctrl-T to a new tab, get the URL through a bookmark or type it in and log into the social network. So, it may be fewer steps to actually run an app than to connect through the browser.
