Yep, and people who work for firms like Salesforce and other Fortune 100 and 500 companies have been using iPads in lieu of laptops for their traveling workers.
Again, there are many different ways people use laptops. Flatly claiming that an iPad, or Playbook, or Netbook, or even a smartphone can't replace a laptop, without knowing HOW people use them, is just silly.
Just curious, CommonReader, fjtorres, and Elfwreck-have you all made serious attempts to replace your laptops with an iPad?
I've owned an iPad and iPad 2 since both were launched, and no longer travel with a laptop. I access my desktop at work with an iPad 2, but before the iPad, I did the same with a laptop.
But I will be the first to admit that I probably underutilized the features of my business laptop over the years
