My Writing Nook Teaches iPad Some Smart Word-Processing Chops
The iPad isn't designed for heavy word-processing. In portrait mode, its virtual keyboard is too small for comfortable touch typing. In landscape mode, the keyboard occupies so much real estate that the most text that fits on the screen is a paragraph or two. Those inadequacies may be tolerated for notes or short email messages, but they overwhelm the tablet's abilities when scribbling longer compositions.
