Like, real, honest to god, sit down at starbucks and crank out a thousand words kind of writing. Short of that, It's nice, but probably not worth the hassle of carrying around.<br /><br />-Rob D.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14216103531396452644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678761812929125529.post-68073314704855751242010-05-21T12:37:53.142-04:002010-05-21T12:37:53.142-04:00@gareth It's the apple bluetooth keyboard. I ...@gareth It's the apple bluetooth keyboard. I am tempted by the keyboard and dock setup, but I worry that the shape might lose me portability (and since my need is not pressing, I'm also put off by the price tag).<br /><br />The onscreen keyboard is actually *very* good, and for twitter, short emails, form filling and such I'm delighted with it. For medium stuff (a paragraph or two) it works ok, and beyond that it starts to gt awkward.<br /><br />My take on it is that it's effectively an order of magnitude improvement over a smartphone. If you could _possibly_ do it on your smartphone, you can comfortably do it on the ipad. If it would just be too much of a pain on your smartphone, it's probably doable but awkward on the ipad. <br /><br />-Rob D.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14216103531396452644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678761812929125529.post-74552346151137819642010-05-21T12:28:17.720-04:002010-05-21T12:28:17.720-04:00Thanks for this post, Rob.

I was already a definite purchase, but you've raised some interesting points --<br /><br />For example: when you refer to the keyboard, are you using the Apple bluetooth keyboard, or are you using the Official Snazzy iPad keyboard + dock?<br /><br />Also -- would you find the keyboard necessary, or is the virtual keyboard serviceable?Gareth-Michael Skarkahttp://www.gmskarka.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678761812929125529.post-41852931015351109712010-05-21T11:47:02.636-04:002010-05-21T11:47:02.636-04:00One notable exception to the 20 MB 3G cap on roami...One notable exception to the 20 MB 3G cap on roaming downloads - it <i>will</i> allow you to download trailers of any size from Apple.com.

Someone gave me a tip: hit the "sleep" (lock) button when this happens, then wake the device right back up. When you do, that prompt is gone and the network's already reestablished.<br /><br />It's still annoying enough for me to mark the device several points down from "10" on the "1-10" scale. I'd probably rate it at a 7.5 right now with those issues. Eliminate them and we're in 9+ territory.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08362641974657304051noreply@blogger.com
