Well the meetings I've been in, I'm constantly waiting for those people with quotes like: "oh it's not rendering properly - I can't see the project plan" "it'

  So are these actual quotes from people you've interacted with? Otherwise, your comment is a strawman. I've been in meetings with people who have iPads, most with keyboard cases. In one such case, this woman (a PM for our project) asked meaningful questions, took notes, then sent out the minutes and action items as soon as the meeting closed. I was sitting next to her the entire time, so I saw what she used: Mail.app, Safari for various internal and cloud-based web-apps, Skype, and Fantastical for giving herself some tasks/reminders and setting up a followup meeting. She made big use of the multitouch gesture for iPad app-switch in a very elegant and no-fuss kind of way. The copy/paste seemed a bit time consuming, but clearly she was used to it and didn't make a fuss about it. While in some organizations you may need a full-on laptop, that use-case is being chipped away every year. btw, that example about project plan is really Microsoft's fault - Microsoft really needs to provide a non-Windows (preferably web-compatible) .mpp viewer, yes, I have MOOS, but it's pretty sad that the PM has to export the Gannt chart or hope the team has the right viewer.

    Yes they are. I spend a lot of time in meetings with these people. Definitely not a straw man. The project plan was an embedded WMF so its not about Microsoft project.
