I'm aiming to replace both my existing ipad and the macbook air with the future rumored ipad pro...

Now I would be VERY VERY thrilled to see that the future version of this keyboard also offers additional battery/charging capability to the iPad....

Good for them....!!!!
 
That's what I do exactly, not with this one (I got the Zagg folio for my Air) - I type much faster so take notes in a mind map application which allows me to draw and moves things around easily with my finger on screen, and then auto exports the notes to outline/text form. This one looks quite nice, more in line with the Apple styling.

There's definitely value to adding a keyboard to the iPad (mine jumped in usefulness with the keyboard), perhaps a MacBook hybrid in the future where the screen is a full sized (or Pro?) iPad but you have the keyboard available when attached??
Same here.

Thanks, I've been using Omnigraffle on the Mac for mind-mapping, it's a general drawing application that makes it easy to create simple shapes and size and align them while looking quite nice out of the box. But I found using it on the iPad for this purpose too cumbersome.
I use SimpleMind. I appreciate that there are versions for Android, Windows, OSX, and iOS... and use them all for the various devices that I use.

My preferred system for taking text-heavy notes has been Simplenote, mainly for its syncing service and the simplicity of its app. While I input into its iPhone and iPad apps, I find the Mac front end to it named Notational Velocity the best part of it, used as a general repository of any kind of information.
Nice. I use nvAlt for my plain-text notes... stored on DropBox. This gives me the option to be cross-platform with notes as well....
Windows=ResophNotes
Android=Draft
iOS=Notesy, WriteRoom, PlainText
OSX=nvAlt

This keyboard looks like a great option. I use the Logitech Ultrathin keyboard cover on my iPad, but if Apple isn't forthcoming with an iPad Pro, I would definitely consider an iPad Air 2 with this keyboard.
