I will say it should be perfectly fine for typing stuff up software wise. If you don't need anything fancy it seemed to have all the other features you need for just typing up text.

Typing on the virtual keyboard isn't very good though--fine for a short e-mail or something, but I'd never want to write a long document or anything. The keys are too close together (screen width isn't as wide as a standard keyboard or even netbook keyboard) to type on it in the proper fashion--so you pretty much have to go to the two finger peck mode.

So I'd say a blue tooth keyboard or the keyboard doc is a must to do in real writing work on it. Otherwise you'd be slowed down to much by the virtual keyboard.
Is this a problem even when viewing the screen in landscape mode?
