Ha! good spot Glenn.
So I have to say, if you’re doing a significant amount of writing on the tablet, get a decent keyboard and go from there. In another post I mentioned how I ended up going with a regular Apple bluetooth keyboard and it was the best decision I made.

In fact, right now I’m back in New York, but still using the iPad / keyboard setup to catch up with posting to travels.eyefodder.com Even though it’s sitting in front of my desktop machine, I prefer the lack of distractions and simpler interface of my photo editing (SnapSeed) and blog posting(Tumblita) apps.

There are two things that bugged me while travelling with this setup. One was the fact that you can’t use the Tumblr email API to send something to the queue (this is a one company issue though so won’t affect many) and the other was that you can’t shoot video in AVCHD and import / edit it on the iPad.

Interesting post. As a recent tablet owner I’m struggling to make this leap also. I find there are many aspects of a tablet that frustrate me, most of them to do with speed and efficiency of simply entering & editing text. Wondering if you’ve encountered some of the same challenges? ie. the duplication of your fourth paragraph above?

I’m going to try this myself with an HTC Flyer 7″ Android tablet. I think it can be done with the right bag of gadgets to be able to connect to other peripheral devices.
