Well, that little experiment saved me some money, no I Pad for me

Our doctor's office had a flu shot clinic. As part of this promotion, they had someone standing there with an I Pad to let you register for free Packer tickets. I swear it took me 10 minutes to fill out my name and address and phone on that thing. I'll never buy one now, I need the full keyboard.

Hmm....an iPad DOES have a full keyboard.

You would get used it eventually. But you can buy an external keyboard, if that's what you want. you just sync it to the ipad and you're done.

I think just about all tablets have the touch keyboards. You can buy regular keyboards to use with them if you want. You would probably get used to it though.

It's not for me either - too small and the whole typing on an on-screen keyboard thing. I'm very happy with my laptops!

You can get a regular keyboard. They're very nice when you don't want to use the touch screen.

My mom uses an external keyboard and finds it much easier. I've had the iPhone for so long now that I find typing on the virtual keyboard to be pretty quick, but it definitely takes getting used it. I bought that Le Pan mini tablet over the summer and use it to takes notes in meetings, no external keyboard necessary.

I rarely use my laptop since getting my iPad. It's benn almost two years. Don't need a physical keyboard. I use my iPad to control my Roku as a remote too.

Right now I'm typing on a 7 "" tablet with error correction. The more you use these devices the easier it gets.

It is a very cool device. I use a Bluetooth keyboard with a iPad when I want to type fast.

People get used to things if they want to usually, but if they have their minds set against it they never will. My mother can't recharge her cell phone. Not because she is stupid, because she doesn't want to use it.

True, because it's not a laptop. But I type well and fast on the popup full keyboard. Little bit of a learning curve to type quickly but it wasn't that big a deal.

Before I got my iPad I was typing on the iPod Touch, so I am happy with the size of the iPad keyboard.

Ipad works with bluetooth keyboards. It's a total non issue. I have one for mine but I find the virtual keyboard works great.

You get use to it, like anything.

I often use voice input for quick things. Of course, it's not full-proof. Most of the time I use my iPad for surfing, watch media and reading from Kindle app. Great for short messages. I have a Bluetooth keyboard for longer emails and documents. For anything requiring more, I use my laptop.

it's not an iPad issue....it's ALL tablets - you need an optional accessory keyboard if you can't live with the on-screen touch keypad.... don't just knock iPads

I love my IPad.

When I first got my Ipad I also purchased a keyboard that you sync to the tablet. I used it a total of 2 times as it took me no time to adjust to the IPad's built in keyboard. Still have the keyboard in the box just collecting dust.
