True, a keyboard is just that, and both kinds perform the same function. I was referring to the amount of typing each was intended to perform. Aside from apps that attempt to offer writers an opportunity to play, the majority of apps require very little text input. Laptops still have their strengths and are better suited for certain goals. I can't understand, however, why someone who needs a keyboard doesn't stick to laptops rather than try to make the iPad into one. A trackpad for a touch device? That's anti-progress.
Meanwhile, I think consumption is the dominant activity among computer users. If not, iOS devices would not be outselling Apple's other products. Outside of their 8 to 5 job, few people are creating; the majority are following, friending, gaming, and exploring.
