product is ever the be all and end all. but I can guarantee that my children
and grandparents will take an iphone or ipad over a desktop any day of the

simple is an excellent concept (if limiting to people who like to delve into
advanced areas)</p>

have had palm pilots, psion, apple, PC, iPhone, Blackberry, you name it. All
have their uses however its always back to the workhorse computer for doing
business.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Yes,
my iPhone has things like tasks, outliners, notes, email, browser, mindmapping,
maps, even my bible is on there, but I still drop straight back into a PC
(albeit the eeePC now) whenever I need to get some serious work or typing done.
I can do quick email replies but get to the computer for anything thoughtful.
For example, I read this post on the iPhone, but went straight to the PC to
type out the reply as it was more than a simple couple of lines.</p>

doubt very much if it will be the iPad vs the PC as the discussion has been -
it's more likely to be the iPhone or iPad PLUS the PC.</p>

because something is easy to use, doesn't make it automatically better. Why
would you learn to drive a car when riding a bike, or even walking is much
easier to do?</p>
