@TWGOGO: Why would anybody type like that? Hold it with both hands and use your thumbs. It’s much faster, easier and more comfortable. That’s how I type on my iPhone at 40 WPM.

After watching your demonstration, I actually find out one big problem of iPad.

Can you use its keyboard and TYPE comfortably on it ? No, you cannot !

Without extra accessory, you need to hold it with one hand while using the other hand to type. That will be a slow and awkward typing experience.

So it’s probably good for one hand task (browsing the web, reading a book,etc…)
only, doing anything thing beyond that will be a big challenge.

Apple finally made something I am actually impressed by. In fact, I would buy one if it weren’t for their totalitarian philosophy. So, I will just wait until another company has something just like it and I’ll buy that instead.

Samsung has a 20″ all-in-one flat panel touch PC for sale in stores here in Korea. I really like it, except that huge screen just makes it a bit too heavy to carry around. I’m sure it won’t be long before Samsung scales it down to something I can carry.
