  •  
    "I love the iPad but I really hate typing on it. Though touch screens are magnificent for some tasks, frankly typing just isn't one of them.

  •  
    "All of us have phrases we use frequently when writing. For example, I often type "iPad Academy" or "Thanks for contacting me" in my email messages. If you have phrases you type repeatedly, you can create shortcuts (abbreviations) for these phrases.

One-bit Internet: The iPad is/isn't a content creation device | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog - 2 views

  •  
    "This is, as I am sure you are aware, a debate as old as the iPad itself. "A computer without a mouse or keyboard," went the argument when the iPad was announced, "is no kind of computer at all." Then people started using iPads to write books, paint pictures, make music, and much, much more. Harry Marks recently summarised the position of most of the Apple blogosphere when he dismissed the "iPad is made for consumption" idea as "thoroughly-debunked"."

Spelling Apps for the iPad and iPhone - 7 views

  •  
    In a world with spell check, why is studying spelling still important? It aids in reading. It helps cement the connection that is shared between sounds and letters. Learning high-frequency sight words also has been shown to help with both reading and writing. Not only is the ability to spell necessary in most occupations, but a person also needs to be able to spell well in order to be able to communicate and take notes and directions.

Notion for iPad, a mobile version of the desktop notation software, looks poised to change all of that."
