Though...Yes, I'm getting this plastic keyboard. Though I'm still a little sceptical about how well it can possibly work. And for how long. <br /><br />But the ipad vs laptop question is quite complex, both re taste, and re specific uses. <br /><br />If one types a lot and often need to work with two apps at the same time, a laptop is prob better. <br />An iPad is *way* better for reading though, especially iPad 3.Eolake Stobblehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07126147415891586345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485455051458949924.post-60267149134171361532012-04-30T21:21:22.988+01:002012-04-30T21:21:22.988+01:00Oh, WOW!

Ironically, "rumblings" re: starting to look @ what I would need, in an AirBook(?), began, just a few days ago, and...(2) things were said that have been key to the "justification" of having an iPad, rather than another laptop: 1) I would *like* to replace a laptop, BUT two very "concerning" issues *have* been re: "...eliminates the experience of your fingertips thudding against a piece of hard glass." and the absence of the tactile "experience;" (of which, of course, this keyboard *does!* Yay! :-) and... 2) I want (as mentioned by one of the users) to be "able to take it everywhere!" So, YES! This might be the answer to these [past] challenges! :-)<br /><br />These two Inventors are cute w/their radiant smiles...as well as the very cheery and bright young interviewer! He was so articulate! Wonderful!<br /><br />And...I agree w/your distracting background comment. :-(<br /><br />I found the story re: the 'Go' to be quite interesting, as well. It's not unlikely that Steve Jobs didn't know a whole lot about this project; their two companies were just a stone's throw away from each other, in Silicon Valley! That...or...vice versa! I'm not sure of the chrono of when the first "rumblings" of Steve's concept of the iPad started...<br /><br />THANKS for featuring this; you just threw a monkey wrench in my thoughts! ;-) (Hm...the iPad is less than the AirBook; there's one "argument" for one, rather than the laptop! :-)<br /><br />Are you thinking of trying it?TC [Girl]https://www.blogger.com/profile/13627383459407464083noreply@blogger.com
