Saw a beta Windows pad today. Would definitely take it over a desktop or laptop as work computer.

Fortunately, for now we do have some choice in what is available. As for me, I would no more replace my PC with an iPad than I would replace my Ford SUV with a Chevy Volt!

I custom build all my desktops. I remove and install components when I desire to upgrade. I can't do that easily on a laptop and I think it is impossible on a “Pad.” I also use a 37” HD TV as a monitor. I could never go back to anything smaller.

I don't need laptops anymore since I have retired and occupy myself with a job that does not need one.

ROFLOL!!! All these knee-jerk, ADS-afflicted Apple bashers are so dead-set on slamming anything Apple that they missed the whole point of the article!

Only Red Badger and Linear caught on that the author is poking fun at a knock-off Chingrish-language website that is almost as funny as "Somebody set us up the bomb!" And is hyping a circular virtual keyboard abortion of an idea called, "Magic Slide Wheel"...

Hojczyk, thanks for a good laugh at all the oh-so-serious, humorless ADS drones! LOL!!!

To Paraphrase Red Badger:

"All you PC are berong to us!!!"

Wow, Amazing...

The iPad finally does what a laptop has done all along...

Truly innovative...

(Color me underwhelmed...)

I have an adapter that plugs into the 30-pin socket of my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. It provides a USB host adaptor that recognizes a keyboard, mouse and USB thumb drives. Set the device up on a table top easel and it works much like a PC. What it lacks is the kind of tools I really use. Compilers and sophisticated editors. Databases. It's a fine device for reading, editing simple files, e-mail and browsing the web. Not bad for music either. The adaptor set me back $20 at the Verizon Wireless store. I used the PC keyboard/mouse devices already in the room.

Having used an iPad with a keyboard, I can tell you it’s not all it’s cracked-up to be.

What would be *really* cool is to make that notepad screen just a *little* larger and then - and here's the kicker - attach the keyboard to the notepad with a couple of *HINGES* so that the screen folds down over the keyboard for easy carrying!

Now *THIS* is an idea who's time has come!

[Revolting cat!]

What? You gotta have blue teeth to use it?

I always laugh when I see posts like this. Very few companies are going to convert their enterprise systems to a slower, less sophisticated IPAD 3 based “system”. It’ silly.

I have an IPAD 2, I have a desktop. For productivity and tools there is no comparison—PC wins.

Let’s see it play Call of Duty: MW3 at max graphics settings.
