Presumably that's more rational after you peck at a screen for a while then get a proper keyboard. ;-) What interests me is that with the keyboard dock, the iPad is an easy grandpa box replacement for my own kids. Notebook sales already are down and this trend is going to accelerate as 7" pads with 3D screens invade the market. 3D is not just a gimmick, it really does allow better info display.

Real 3D or just a commercial misnomer? How far does it stand out of the screen's plane?
