If you can't do them on an iPad then you simply can not consider it a "work machine", in the general sense. You can do those on a 15 year old laptop with ease.

If it's something you can do on a 15 year old machine, which is otherwise nearly unusable (last week I turned on my 2001 Titanium Powerbook G4 for the first time in years; it could see my WiFi network, but not connect), then maybe that's not a very useful definition for "work machine".
- rahoulb 9y agoMy work involves advanced document preparation that includes a lot of sketching. That must mean most laptops aren't work machines either.
- freehunter 9y agoI can't code from my work-issued iPhone, but I wouldn't leave the house without it. I can't make calls from my work-issued Thinkpad, but I'm not sitting down in the morning next to my iPhone. You see how silly your line in the sand is? That being said, I actually can do everything from my iPhone with the magic of Citrix.
