We're "post pc" when it comes to multimedia, but not for anything that requires a keyboard, e.g. word processing etc.... That's a big deal, no doubt, but until we move past our reliance on the keyboard for some essential applications, we're not post-pc.
Granted, we're probably headed in that direction.

- peterzakin 15y agoIt's not practical to write an essay on an iPad. Edit: without an external keyboard.
- eli 15y agoSure, all you need is a case the makes it easy to carry both the keyboard and the device together. Perhaps with a hinge on one side so the keyboard protects the screen when you're not using it?
- tomkarlo 15y agoAt least I have the option to not carry the keyboard (and usually, I don't.)
