Can someone explain why I'd ever want to write code on something without a keyboard when I could get a net book for so cheap? I'm baffled. There are a million great uses for the iPad form factor, but coding isn't one of them.
iPad (Keyboard) dock and/or Bluetooth Keyboard? If you're in to minimalism, a good ssh client and/or editor are all that are needed. Coda on the iPad would make my day.
I guess if you know you'r going to code a lot, you'd take a laptop. OTOH, if you'r somewhere and need to fix a bug (or build your latest greatest invention), and only have an iPad around it's great to have a good online editor.
