Data entry? Incredible! I'd have never guessed.Two years ago i worked for a health research organization. I used an iPad when performing subject intake eligibility. The iPad was connected to a large web application with the survey tool. While I could have used a smart phone being able to have the questions displayed on a larger screen so that the subject could read them ensure a higher likelihood of subjects understanding content (reading and hearing me). One of my coworkers in a social behavior study took the iPads out into the field and used it for survey data collection. Since these surveys require data entry, they are not simply media consumption devices. Your imagination and experiences appear to be rather limited.
Did the social behaviour study examine the effects of Internet forum discussions on etiquette?

Apple painted itself into a corner with their limited, locked down use of iPads vs Macs, while the broader market has moved on with dual use touchscreen, multiple ports equipped tablet/laptop hybrids for a lot less than buying a MacBook + iPad.Agreed, and the revenues for the "PRO'S" would increase, if it could run Mac Apps, utilize a trackpad, and mouse
Apple refuses to merge the two devices and instead opt for touchbars on "pro" laptops and touchscreens on a "pro" tablet with limited connectivity and cheap Apps on a separate OS.
While trying to avoid cannibalizing and keeping alive separate hardware and software platforms, they're ignoring the broader trends, hence lacklustre iPad sales.
