Folks, this is getting way off-topic. Please look at the thread title.
Based on the recent posts, it would need to be renamed to "General IT talk".
I will only reiterate to mgmueller: my work is different from yours. I absolutely spend many, many hours per day being productive on my iDevices,
without needing to use the keyboard (onscreen or hardware) heavily. Feel free to launch a new thread to discuss details, if you wish.
Second important point: you guys as if seem to expect the tablet to replace the need for a notebook. I couldn't disagree more. Please think of Steve Jobs's keynote when he presented the original iPad. Jobs clearly defined it as a device
in between a mobile phone and a notebook. It is
not meant to
replace either of them -- it's supposed to be
better than either of them at performing
certain tasks. And that's
exactly what the iPad accomplishes.
(Reading books is the first among those tasks, since we're in MobileRead forums.) Again, if you wish to discuss this in more detail, please launch a new thread, as it has nothing to do with the subject matter of the current thread.
