But iPads saving "billions?!" I wouldn't believe everything I read, particularly about the iPad. Remember, it claims that it is the "Best way to browse the web. Hands down." Except that it shows dumbed down mobile versions, or blue legos, in those large parts of the web which use Flash and Java....

Anyway, I think you totally missed the joke in my most above.

Apparently doctors think iPad offers something that existing tech doesn't.

As I said, don't believe everything you read, particularly from a freelance writer who thinks a rubber cover makes a field device.

But of course, if it works for you, go right ahead.

Actually, the doctors' opinions are what interest me.

That was my thought as well. I did a search on her and she's written any number of things none particularly technical from what I saw.

I definitely caught that comment about the "rubber cover"

Same, at least for me.

I want a tablet for work related tasks--but only a small part of it. Just reading and up articles, documents etc.

But I need a keyboard, lots of storage and decent processing power for most of my work.
