A year with an iPad... Should have got a netbook.

, no cursor placement arrows.

Very frustrating, and my chief reason for always using a Zagg, or other Bluetooth keyboard instead of the iPad virtual.

I always loved my iPad as the "computer" for travelling.
And with the iPad Mini I even love it more, as it weights less than an additional lense in my camera bag and is small enough to fit in the bag without a problem.

In combination with a few photo apps, some basic editing and uploading to the web can already be done while on the go.

My current tools are:
Snappseed (Nice B&W convertion and some other cool effects) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/snapseed/id439438619?mt=8
PhotoForge 2 (Very powerful photo editing with a lot tools and layers) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photoforge2/id435789422?mt=8
Reduce (Resizing and jpeg compression to shrink the images for my blog/web/mail) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/reduce/id580474806?l=de&ls=1&mt=8

In combination with the camera connection kit a must-have for your camera bag.

I knew I needed an iPad when I started consistently using my laptop in situations where a tablet would be more convenient and portable. I needed a "smart book" and not a notebook.

Me too. I was tired of lugging around my clunky laptop and dealing with the pathetic battery life. For most things, my iPad gets the job done and its so much more convenient and easy to deal with. Great battery life, always ready to use, plenty of apps to get most things done.
