Or I can connect it to a HD projector and play a full HD movie on my white wall. I can connect an Xbox-360 controller to it via USB and play PC games on the TV while on the couch or the bed. With the new 12 hour batteries coming out, I can play HD movies and play games like F1 2011 or Assassin's Creed in full detail while in a train or a bus or a plane. The whole Adobe Suite with Photoshop, Premiere, Dreamweaver, which are essential to my work, are handled effortlessly by this little piece of device. I can store hundreds of HD movies or games on the 1.2 terabyte hard drive, and don't have to compromise on anything.
Can the iPad do all of this? Sure, it can play 720p videos on its dinky screen, but so can the Samsung Galaxy S, which costs half its price. If you wanna pay more than half a grand for a limited functionality toy, then be my guest. It's not my money you're wasting.

I'm not trying to say that an iPad doesn't work for you, it clearly does and for for me to say otherwise would be rather rude.
My point is that whilst something might do the job, sometimes there are better tools for the jobRule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

Arrows' comment about using a drawing app to take notes on is appealing for me even if there is no writing recognition going on, because a tablet in such a situation could actually be handy and replace my easily lost scraps of paper.
Daniel, you keep going on at people who have iPads claiming that other options could perform some other tasks better. I'm sure you're right on paper, unfortunately people don't live their lives on paper.
First leg he will be thinking in Portuguese championship. Then he can go for WRC2.
