Hi, you can get a BT keyboard for the iPad . now it is a great device and works very well. But it is not a computer There is lot of uses for it and doing productivity is one of them. Like email, word processing and text editing to some extent that is for the blind but the seeing text editing is much better on it. I don't know about spread sheets like a excel or a power point at least for the blind. Now to get one that is a 64 gb with cell data figure to fork out about 800 bucks or so and then a cost of a keyboard and a case for it . so by the time you are out of the door you will be looking at around 1000 bucks or so. You can get a Mac book air for this amount if needing a small pourable computer. The Mac book air will have a better processer and lot more ram for the same price. So I hope this helps some .

I use a macbook pro as my main workstation but am considering the iPad. the only concern I have is using the touch screen for typing. I use an iphone 3GS but don't text with it as I find it fiddly. any comments would be greatly appreciated. sorry... should have created this as a subject but your thoughts would be really helpful. lew On 18 Nov 2011, at 17:17, Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith wrote: > Hello Bubba > > A very good point.
