Hey Lynn, I'm typing this from a standard USB keyboard which I just plugged into the side of my Android.
And I can use a standard USB mouse to click the send button. Miraculously, when you attach keyboard and a mouse, this thing turns into a PC. The onscreen keyboard goes away and an arrow cursor appears, which you control via the mouse just like expected. Pretty cool. iPad certainly can't do THAT. Even so, I've checked the Android App Store and it's predictably pretty lame. Why can't Google, with all the billions and billions, create some killer Android Apps, like Apple does for iPad? There's really no good PowerPoint clone that I can see, nor is there any decent sketch note taking apps, for which there are a couple on iPad. That said, it appears there's not enough money for devs for such apps, even on the iPad. I've noticed the top 3 to 4 note apps on iPad have pretty much ceased all development for quite some time now. And none of them are what I would consider 'professional' apps. I guess you can't survive on charging a buck ninety-nine per app. I suspect, I too, would quit free updates for my customers after two or three trys. Still a long way to go before this is all worked out.
