Kind of. It's easier to watch videos, read ebooks, and browse the internet due to the larger screen, but I believe the iPad runs on the same OS as the iPhone/Touch. Even a a more functionally designed tablet is going to be harder to use without peripherals like a keyboard, and at some point, it makes sense to have the hard drive, RAM, keyboard and ports of a laptop.

Well yes and no...iPads are capable of having a keyboard linked up to it but there is still the issue of printing and storing documents.
iWork is pretty ok for the iPad but it's getting it to translate over to to a Word document is what i haven't tried yet.

Well yes, but if you're carrying a keyboard and an iPad, and a mouse, and speakers or headphones... You might as well have the laptop bag

I hate typing on mini keyboards. I've gotten used to the "no keypad" keyboard on my laptop, but anything smaller and I can't type right. mini ones screw with touch typers.
And I'm a right clicker, I need a mouse  (Not that Apple's big on right clicking.

That is my whole problem with MACs. I love my right mouse click and use it all the time.
I just heard that Sprint is getting rid of Nextel. I didn't know it still existed!

you're not the first one that refuses to learn how to tap the keyboard...I was resistant too until I saw how much easier it was.
You must unlearn what you have learned padawan...LOL

I two-thumb my DROID 2 keyboard, but everything else, it's just too slow. I type 90 WPM if I actually get going.
