Hello all, I have also some toughest about this discussion. At the moment, I have a macbook and a iphone4. I was planning to buy a ipad2 when it came out but, after reading this tread, perhaps I am changing my mind.
The most important thing I have read here is: pages isn't working well on the ipad with voiceover, it's more comfortable to type on a macbook air then on a ipad , but you can use a external keyboard with the ipad? The wight and size is quiet the same. But , I have also some toughest against a macbook air: You can have 2 ipads for the price of a basic macbook air what about the battery life of a macbook air And, perhaps the most important reason against a macbook air: since there is no cdrom/dvdrom drive in the macbook air, it's impossible perhaps to reinstall the os or to do a permission or disc repair of the system from the dvd or it's perhaps much more difficult to reset the system based on a time-machine backup. Of course , with a ipad , this isn't possible also but a ios-device has no need for this. I am looking forward to your reactions.
