How do you type on it?

The same way you type on an iPhone... with a virtual keyboard...

>> The same way you type on an iPhone... with a virtual keyboard...

On an iPhone, a virtual keyboard is a necessity.

On a device that’s reasonably expected to take the place of a laptop, a virtual keyboard would be (imo) a giant annoyance. Why? Because you’ve moved into a use case scenario where SIGNIFICANT amounts of typing are reasonable to expect.

Am I missing something here? What is the target market for these tablet devices? What are the use cases that are not well-served by a laptop but would work better on a tablet?
