@kennyhemphill No, I'm deadly serious. Look on trains: people working are using laptops; people watching iPlayer are using iPads.

@kennyhemphill iPad is fine for taking notes in meetings or replying to the odd email. It's impractical for anything more serious. -
@bazzacollins sorry, that's nonsense. Numbers is very usable on iPhone and iPad. I cld find you lots of people who use iPad for 'real' work. -
@kennyhemphill Usable for what? Who uses Numbers for work? -
@bazzacollins creating spreadsheets; adding data; creating charts; sharing all of above. See also, Keynote. -
@kennyhemphill No financial industry worker would be allowed to use Numbers/iPad, because of data compliance. There's no security. -
@bazzacollins Spreadsheets are used outside financial industry, too. -
@kennyhemphill There will be pockets of people (such as@PaulLomax) who "work" on iPad; for vast majority it's a consumption device. -
@bazzacollins@kennyhemphill Or maybe I’m just the future, and everyone else is stuck with laptops forced upon them by their IT dept. - 4 more replies

@bazzacollins There are, as an example, lots of journalists who use iPad for audio/ video capture and editing on the move. Serious work? -
@kennyhemphill Everyone always cites journalists/media when it comes to working on iPads. You're stuck in a bubble, my friend. -
@bazzacollins it was an example I used because I know the industry. Plenty of others. My builder, for example. Estate agents, many more.

@bazzacollins@kennyhemphill I work on my iPad. Have you seen my laptop FFS? -
@PaulLomax@kennyhemphill Last time I saw it, it was on your desk, powering three screens. -
@bazzacollins@kennyhemphill There’s only one screen and I use that for sticking post-it notes. I’m twice as productive on the iPad.
