However, like I said, I really like my iPad and think this type of device really will change the way people go about their daily lives.
Welcome and I too think the same and in fact in many ways it has for the "consumers of content" perhaps even for those that are computer savvy. They find ways to make the iPads computing power and capabilities an advantage to them while using out of the box ways to use it for other things other than consuming.
I am one of those and already maintain a full suite of just the right apps to conduct my daily business on the road.
Yes remote desktop is a large function of that and now with 3G its even more amazing and nice to now do what I already have on the iPhone, only now on my iPad instead.
I can honestly say the MacBook which was primarily a road device before has not had to come out of the bag since.
I think some of my ability to transform the way I use the iPad, stems from using many pocket PC devices in the past and constantly trying to create mobile solutions for daily working routines.
It's a given the device can consume media and play games, its the workflow and using it for everyday work solutions that makes my socks go up and down.
Soon we will see more integration between the iPhone and iPad, when it comes to migrating data and importing files, while working within apps between the two devices.
