Perhaps the third party keyboard support and whatever this Braille input
is will make typing much more productive in iOS8. Just to throw in a
comment regarding typing as of now.

Writing is going to be a bit of a headache since you will have to turn on
the edit mode on the iPad whenever you need to type text. Someone typed up
an article regarding best apps for text entry, and I ran a quick search for
you and did not find it, but the article is definitely on the AppleVis
website. Since the experience on the iPad will for the most part be the same
as your iPod, try quickly launching a text editing word processor type of
app and quickly taking down a Note, and you will find it is more trouble
than one would want to go through when taking down a quick Note or writing
lengthy documents. I got along much better when I changed my mindset and
concluded iOS devices are better used as consumption devices rather than
production tools. I have carpeting and have had a cat for some 10 years, and
this has not been a significant problem for me though my desktop is on cat
level--the floor. Not challenging your personal experience, just stating
that maybe my shaggy carpet and fluffy cat don't produce as much lint and
stuff that gets caught in computer filters.

Subject: If Anyone Is Using Only iDevices and No Computer, How Are You
Faring?
Hi, all,
I have a computer that needs a hard-drive replacement, at the very least,
and possibly has a failed logic board. I'm seriously considering replacing
it with an iPad. Price is only somewhat an issue, since there seems to be
only about $100 US difference between a new model I would want and the iPad.
Mainly, I don't want the hassle of replacing moving parts and getting dust
and cat-hair and such snarled up in it. I'm also extremely comfortable with
iOS and use my iPod 5th gen constantly. I intend to use the iPad with a
keyboard.
So has anyone else taken this sort of step? Am I out of my mind, or do you
think this is doable?
I am a casual user. I read books, browse the web, play videos and music and
games, and occasionally write for informal publications.
What do you guys think?
