But is that 95%? I mean, my wife likes the tablet too, but she's not using it to put her powerpoint slides together (which she is doing as we speak).

I find it odd that you demand evidence for his number, yet provide none about your claim that people will have a PC cause they hate typing on a tablet.

I don't have any hard numbers either, but people that can't touch type can often type faster using a tab with swiftkey than on a keyboard.

I didn't mean to ignore your point- a good one, by the way- I've been out of the country and without wifi computer. I could have answered you on my iPhone, but....

To my defense, I wasn't citing numbers. The 95% thing sounds like a made-up number.

To your point: I don't know exactly what swiftkey is- but it's an interesting idea that these new devices may allow a touch-typing replacement to gain traction. That could be a game-changer, I agree.

This is the main reason I can't switch to IOS from android. I type a lot on my phone, usually work related email.
