There are (apparently cludgy) ways of moving your informationi about, but the impression I've had from this and other sites is that the iPad is more of a read/watch platform than a text-input one.
Unless you attach an external keyboard, the speed limitation of entering punctuation and numbers would be more of a deal-breaker for me if I were on the lookout for a very portable semi-work machine.
- michael_dorfman 17y ago...and how do you plan on attaching that external keyboard, since the iPad doesn't seem to have any ports? It's a closed system, by design.
- adamt 17y agoThe ipad supports Bluetooth keyboards. It even has a special apple version available that also holds the ipad up as a screen.
- jodrellblank 17y agoGo to apple.com/ipad and look around a bit or watch th keynote of the ipad's release. How to attach an external keyboard is explained in both places.
- stcredzero 17y agoNo speed limitation for me. I can type at full speed in landscape mode with the iPad on my lap. With the autocorrection feature, I can even take the sorts of shortcuts one uses when texting on old cellphones, but with a full qwerty keyboard. (No need to hit the shift key to capitalize iPad correctly, for example.)
