Because is is what they are used to it has been a very much better system to work on in regards to layout possibilities because the screens are actually displaying things in real size when you set the image size to 100% where a windows machine does not get this right by default and needs al kinds of tools to even make it remotely correct.
On top of that due to the integration these systems are far more stable then Windows systems for the simple reason that there is far less useless crap that comes with the OS it self.
Photoshop is not available due to the fact that the processor is likely not powerful enough to deal with a reasonable sized photo that has a few filters applied to it in short succession, or maybe simply because Adobe does not have the software ready just yet? Who knows, doesn't really matter anyway the screen is to small for serious work on top of the fact that without the brush/pen that comes with real graphics tablets missing which is a big thing if you ever worked with such a device.
Anyway, back on track. It is not unlikely to think that there will be some form of dlna or at the very least streaming support for this thing. After all why would it have wifi-n if all it does is open a few webpages. A full XBMC type interface with all the skinning and so on I seriously doubt it, a web type interface why not?
I mean if Google can beat Apple by releasing a web based Google Voice app to beat the Apple store restrictions banning them from delivering free calling to iPhone users then why would XBMC not be able to produce a web based client for accessing the media? A remote control function would definitely work as the OS is just a slightly newer version of iPhone OS for which a remote control app for XBMC is already available so that should be simple.
I picture a situation where one has a iPad that shows the media's library information as stored in XBMC in combination with the fanart/poster or other image relating to the file. With of course a play, pause etc option, and a possibility to look at the actors or band members associated with the file playing. Or of course the possibility to look for a new file and queue it or play it etc... A full fledged copy of the XBMC interface I seriously doubt, if one can playback media files on the iPad served from XBMC I doubt anyone can say till the thing is actually available. But the described remote functions are likely all possible.
