Well, this isn't proof but my computer has pretty much been relegated to 
processing photos. Everything I do (admittedly, pretty mundane stuff) on the 
computer I can do more easily on the ipad because of it's portability and 
convenience, even compared to a netbook. I don't miss a mouse at all. I was 
skeptical until I took my husband's ipad1 when he upgraded to an ipad2. I 
love it so much the when the new ones came out yesterday I bought one along 
with my husband. I'm donating my ipad1 to a college student I know and 
sending the ipad2 to my daughter. I'm generally a luddite about technology 
but I use mine constantly. If you don't like the touch pad keyboard you can 
buy one as a peripheral, either connected or bluetooth.
