Workspace 2.0

Ever since I received my first iPad, it's been my favorite computer. For common tasks, such as web surfing and reading emails, it's a dream. The advent of the App Store has greatly extended it's usefulness. But, even to this day, it is largely considered to be a consumption device. It's great for checking FaceBook and playing Angry Birds, but not for doing any meaningful work. I've always disagreed with this notion, and have the seen the iPad as much more than an expensive toy.
Well, now, I'm putting my money where my mouth is.
I've committed to trying to use the iPad as my main computer. I've relegated my Mac Mini to "hub" status; it's main purpose now is to serve up media and other heavy lifting. I'm going to try to rely on my iPad, coupled with a keyboard, as my day to day machine. This includes reading, gaming, social interaction and organizing. I'm also going to try to do as much of my future school work solely on this device. I'm even writing this very post on the iPad.
Now that I think about it, recollecting the 20 plus years experience I've had with computers, I've done with a lot less, before.
