[QUOTE="Demapples, post: 1383798, member: 199799"] I'm puzzled by ongoing opinions that the iPad is just a toy. I'm coming up on a year with my iPad 2. It has replaced my laptop. It can't do the complex report writing, spreadsheet work and photo editing that I do on my desktop, but I don't find I need to do that kind of work on the road. Paired with a wireless keyboard, I can write and do basic spreadsheet work. I don't miss not having an SD slot or USB port thanks to email, Dropbox and other ways to share files. Paired with my iPhone, I can scan documents and manage photos well enough. I've taken to giving presentations from my iPad. I use web-based systems on my iPad now for many tasks, using my iPad. The iPad is easy to carry, instant on, and has great battery life, so I always have it with me around the house, around town, in the shop and on the road, where by the way its GPS navigation capability works well. It hasn't completely taken over my work owing to security concerns, but I find I can compartmentalize things well enough. Hopefully the industry will fix the security issues. I could go on with the many ways I use it in my work and personal life, but this is long enough. It's much more than a toy for me. [/QUOTE]
