I have a smart cover for mine. Was going to get a full-blown case but this thing feels far too nice to cover up. The back will be exposed, but whenever I'm not using it, I'll place it in my netbook sleeve.

out of millions who purchased an ipad..how many are actually using it as a productivity device?
you cant even type properly on the thing for more than 5 minutes...and dont bring up that stupid keyboard, a tablet is meant to be portable
i am sorry but i have a shhh load of gadgets and computers, i know my tech
you are speaking as if tablets will replace laptops computers phones etc and revolutionize the world
but in the end its just a piece of portable screen with touch interface. it is meant to provide entertainment and quick computing access, not do spread sheets, autocad watch blu rays, or play games, I have a real computer for that
In the business world iPads and other tablets already have VNC clients which is pretty big. Their off course is no office suite really available on iOS at the moment but in due time I see either openoffice or MS entering the tablet world. As I think I already stated around 65% of Fortune 100 company's have either deployed or piloted the iPad in their companies.
If you guys have not been paying attention to education news, iPad is supposed to be replacing textbooks in certain elementary schools.
Like I stated earlier tablets just need more software to to become better alternatives to things in our life. I dont think tablets will replace Laptops or even Desktops but I do think we will see Tablets either replacing normal business workstations or company laptops for certain positions. At home for most people I would think it would be a cheap alternative for family's for computers for kids instead of buying a desktop for a young child a tablet would probably be better suited for them.

The adoption rate is only possible because the ipad is the first portable widely available device in the market. What makes the ipad better than say the xoom or the upcoming galaxy tab or even the kindle? Does the average ipad consumer use the ipad as a productivity device? And plus those apps u speak of, thin desktop clients etc arent cheap. For 500 plus dollars u can get full desktop computer, faster and more practical than an ipad. A tablet is not a device used to replace the full desktop experience, it us meant to compliment it. You will be nuts to buy a kid an ipad than a full computer. You can write emails on an ipad but are you going to even attempt to write a short essay paper on an ipad? If schools want ipads to replace textbooks and only for textbooks, why not just get a nook or kindle. It cost less than half the price of ipad and is superior to the ipad as an ereader. I am typing all of this on my ipad as we speak and just because you or I like it doesnt mean it doesnt have flaws. I dont understand that logic that just because it is capable of doing something productive for professionals apply to the average folks. It is like buying a kid a super computer to write papers. The cost doesnt justify it. I only bought this 1g ipad because its cheap and for the price it is worth the purchase. I cannot see myself spending 500 for an ipad and if i do i will have a good reason for it, unlike the majority of the people.

I really wasnt talking about the iPad in general more of tablets pcs the iPad is really the only device to have a software library large enough to show these possibilities. We may just see a micro keyboard for a tablet in the near future It wouldnt be that big of a deal if their wear BT keyboards it would serve its purpose. As I said I don think Tablets will replace COMPUTERS but I do think we will see Tablets replace most computing tasks with a tablet. Most OS offer so much more than a user is going to need on a day to day basis and the tablet os out right now are so simplified that doing the basic tasks you want to do is easy and enjoyable. If you are really only going to use your computer for going on the internet, listening to music/watching videos, and other simple tools why not doing it on a tablet?Originally Posted by shatterkneesinc
