iPad as laptop replacement?

ICab is an app which allows uploading to websites.

Oh you mean the the browser. I have it, I was able to upload onto some sites but then the site would not accept the upload. Bought a really expensive FTP app that I cannot use...

Sent from my Verizon Black 64GB iPad 2 w IOS 5.1 Update From NYC!!! using iPF.net

Absolutely NOT an iPad if that's your only device. It does a lot less than 90% of what a laptop does. If you're surfing the web you can't see some site because apple does not support Flash. If you work a lot with documents there is no file storage system on the laptop. I have had to purchase 2 additional apps to overcome these problems and. Fortunately I still can't upload my resume.

Get another laptop first. The iPad is fun but does NOT replace a laptop at this time.

Heard that bought it and still can't upload

But with a laptop you don't buy anything else!!!! Tired of the phrase "there's an app for that"

On my desk I have a notebook computer. To the right of it I have a calculator. My computer has a calculator program but when crunching numbers I prefer the calculator. In addition to the portability the iPad does a lot of things without all the overhead of the computer so there are a number of things I prefer to do on it but, for me, it is as close to replacing my computer as the calculator.

I could probably compromise and do more on the iPad but I am not about to try and shove a square peg into a round hole.

This is my opinion and it is based on my preferences and experiences.
