iPad or Laptop?

[OakLeaf]

When I got my iPad, it was convenient, but I compared it to a laptop and said "oh, I can't do ..."

There are a lot of really cool iPad apps, and obviously there are going to be a whole lot more pretty soon, but if you're not in a field that would use them, like music or medicine (there are probably others, those are just the two I'm aware of), what you can do with it is rather limited.

Tablet computing is really in its infancy at this point. But what it isn't is a laptop, and anyone who wants it to be one is going to be disappointed.
