"Testing the iPad's Trip-Worthiness".

(This article basically reinforces my decision not to buy an iPad, at least for now. For my purposes, I'm still best off with my current combination of netbook-plus-Kindle. I still do a lot of typing while on the road, and need a good keyboard along with office suite software. But I don't want to read eBooks from the netbook, hence the Kindle. Fortunately, both are sufficiently light that I can easily fit them in my backpack. But perhaps a future incarnation of the iPad with better office suite software, full multitasking, and external keyboard might be able to replace that combination.)
