Oh geez, I would hate that. I like using on my laptop far more than the iPad. I see the iPad as a digital magazine of sorts. It's nice for some consumption, but it's awful for actually writing or editing, or really creating in general.

Also, I love using a mouse. Copying and pasting with a touchpad is pretty frustrating, IMHO. Also, I use Photoshop a lot. A mouse is the only real option.

When the time comes for the Pad/Laptop Singularity I'm sure we'll have figured out how to solve the keyboard issue. And wouldn't a stylus work for photoshop as well? Styluses rule.

Is it styluses or styli?

Wikipedia says they're both right, but styluses gets more hits on google.

I have a feeling that the sensation of texture on a touch screen will help some there.

However, there is something nice about the topography of a keyboard, and I'm not sure if it can be matched.

I'll have to try a stylus more. I have very limited experience with it. It does seem to be the standard in illustration these days. The iPad still just isn't as responsive as I'd like it to be.
