Thanks for the input. Sounds like most laptop users are content with their productivity, and that many iPad users are able to find work-arounds. Waiting for the next iPad version might a better option if I choose portability over functionality. I'll have to do some more research.
As some of you have alluded to, one of the guys in RGS the other day used some type of program to download LIDO stuff etc. onto the iPad...pretty slick. I also like the idea of using it as a portable EFB while an RFO.
Decisions....decisions....
