Judgmental much?
I don't use twitter at all, and while I obviously surf the web, I've been more than once accused of using a thousand words where ten will do in my posts.
When I say I do
all my writing on the iPad, I mean it. Posts like this. Three thousand word reviews. Short stories. Emails. Communications to companies. Literary analysis. Journaling. Some of these, yes, are done with the wireless BT keyboard, but I find I'm using that less and less, certainly a lot less than I expected to when I bought it. I'm an 85 WPM touch typist with a regular keyboard and over time, I've learned that I can in fact type pretty decently on the iPad surface. It's not as fast, but it does work.
The last time I actually opened Word on my laptop was over a month ago. I didn't actually type anything in it, I merely transferred a number of long term docs I've been working on over to the iPad. Now that they're on this device, I may never need to open Word again.
And my husband uses his iPad at work for meeting notes.
Comments like yours prove my point about the industry analyst reviews: You are passing judgment on something you admit you have no direct knowledge of. While some people may not adapt well to this keyboard, some of us have adapted better than we ever would have dreamed. Perhaps if you actually sat down with one for more than five minutes in the Apple store, you might find the same for yourself.
(post touch typed from the virtual keyboard...lookee here, muscle memory is an amazing thing!)
