The iPad does, in fact, have a keyboard, regardless of what the cited article says. If it is not a computer, then what is it? Is an iPhone, or other "smart phones" as they are called, computers as well? I'd say yes, most assuredly. If my Timex/Sinclair was a computer, then the aforementioned must surely be computers as well. Perhaps the makers of smaller mobile devices such as the iPad and "smart phones" do not like to refer to those products as being computers because of perception and marketing issues.
