All this 'manageability' is just software + iPads ARE manageable. There is already Apple Configurator, for OS X and Windows that does just that -- provision and manage iPads (and other iOS devices).

The Macbook Air is an fantastic product, but it is just an slim and elegant, light etc. notebook -- or, from alternative view, just an very portable desktop. It is completely different product from the iPad and.. it is not very "manageable" if you ask Windows IT staff. Which speaks of their abilities, but that's different question altogether.
