Serious question - is there any good way to record and edit podcasts on the iPad? That was the primary reason I went with a laptop rather than an iPad as my last tech purchase.

Actually, Garage Band isn't half bad for recording and light-editing audio.

You can hardly write on the thing, just like with other mobile devices. Sketching or making notes would be the only option. Sure, technically you can write novel after novel on it. It just doesn't write nicely.

Hence the bluetooth keyboard as the first thing on his list ;)

Then, why don't you just get a laptop? Or slate?

Comically, I personally prefer typing on an iPad in the car over typing on a laptop. The on-screen keyboard definitely works for me.
