Sorry bout the spelling errors and typos. This keyboard had this weird predictive text thing. If you want to use this for writing you really need either the Bluetooth keyboard or the keyboard dock

The only thing I would honestly use. Camera for on my iPad is skyping, but only if the camera had enough metalmarks, and most tablets on the market do not. So is the camera worth another. 100 bucks of my hard earned money? Nope! Now on to what this article was really about:

I am a freelance writer and blogger. I write most of the time. The iPad has been the best investment I have ever made in my writing. I have a keyboard dock that I use for most of my extensive writing, although for this snort post I am using the iPads touch keyboard, about 40wpm. The iPad is portable and light weight, and it is the best internet experience I have ever had! I use this thing almost all day, e ery day!

I own another laptop, and I have not opened it in seven days. That is how much I use the iPad, and with apps like pocket cloud and drop box, I dont even have to use my computer to back up my iPad files! I print wirelessly to my hp printer when needed, and I use the iPad tool bar to multitasking (not that I need to since iPad is so fast!)

All in all, I would say that iPad is a good investment and a good tool for freelance writers, content writers, bloggers, and internet writers. Also, if you have a more heavy document to write, I would highly recommend the iAwriter app. It provides a focused “no frills” writing environment that is similar in style to a typewriter but of course like four times faster!

I also want to note that while there are some features that would make it better, I really like the wordpress app! Ms for the interesting read!

What did they invent? A NEW niche? How so? they invented nothing.

Did they invent a tablet? umm no, that already exists
Did they even invent a new tablet OS? No, they just used a smartphone OS which creates a device, with literally no more functionality than an iPhone. Don’t feed us crap about Apple “inventing” someone, just because that’s what you’re being fed by Mr. Jobs.

Franky, how do you get “bashing” out of my stating a fact? You were the one said “second screen,” and obviously several readers took you literally. I was clarifying that the iPad could not be used that way, NOT bashing Apple. On the other hand, I would in fact use an iPad with VNC — so in a sense a second screen, yes. And just because you’re a fan boy does not make you right I love Apple products, dislike their marketing puppetry

Dude, think different: one screen you work on, another screen for research. Second device.
Also: stop bashing the decision Apple made. The blogosphere hated the device and now analysts estimate more than 400k have been sold already. Yes, Apple knew what they were doing and the user (Joe/Jane Average) really doesn’t care about what so tech pundit/blogger/ranter in a corner says.

Right, so it can’t be a second monitor, afaik, which invalidates reason #1, no? If it were running full OS X, then it could be used that way, but it isn’t, so I don’t think it can.

I have looked for a cut-and-dry answer to whether the I-pad will be able to work as a secondary monitor and it seems I can’t find a definite “yes”. I have only read about it being used to mirror a laptop or desktop’s computer screen via a vnc client. I have hopes for it to work as a secondary monitor, but am becoming more doubtful that it will.
