For what tasks? Call someone on Skype? Maybe. Change the order of two paragraphs in a text, browsing hn or reddit? No way in hell

  Exactly. I've tried selecting text on an iPad, and it's not easy. Maybe you can perfect rolling your finger to do it, with practice, but it's not as intuitive as a mouse for precise selection. Fingers are too big. Actually, just having cursor keys on an iPad would be an improvement. However... game console controllers are also not as good as a mouse, and yet they now drive game sales and development.

    > game console controllers are also not as good as a mouse I guess you mean for FPS, only ? For platform games, for fighting games, these controllers are perfectly adequate. The reason why console FPS have become more popular on consoles than on PCs is simply associated to market share of console hardware, big budget exclusive titles (Halo, Killzone, Gears of War) and is not even remotely linked to how good the controls are.
