the ipad could be so much more than just a content consumption device. this isn't just my opinion, but it is steve's vision. steve has said we are headed into a post-pc era with the ipad. steve has said it is good for productivity. i drank the kool aid. but, i am not seeing his world. i don't think of the ipad as a computer--i just want it to be a content creation device like he promised.
i've got a collapsible keyboard that fits quite comfortably into my man purse, and i have usb keyboards at work and home. no reason to carry them around. the same goes for mice. what i don't have is a way to do content creation on the ipad. it works for little things, first drafts, and so forth. but, i am still tied to the laptop.
i enjoyed a week away from my laptop earlier this month, but i could only do it through very careful planning ahead of time so i knew i wouldn't be in trouble with my work just using the ipad. with a few more improvements i could finally break free from my computer... yes, i am hoping the ipad will (most of the time) replace my computer.
It sounds like you need to pick the right tool for the job. The pocket fisherman wasn't designed to land a marlin.
Hey, wait a minute. Did you just say 'man purse'? Would you try to stuff your collapsible keyboard into your wallet? No, you picked the right tool for the job. In this case your murse.
Ahhh, disregard. I'm out!
