[Coda]

I can work fine on a tablet once I've had time to get used to the keyboard, but autocorrect introduces more errors than it resolves for me. I keep my eyes on the cursor while I'm typing, so I don't even SEE the autocorrect suggestions. So when autocorrect decides that my correctly-spelled (or intentionally-incorrectly-spelled) word ought to be a different word and then automatically replaces it when I hit the space bar, I won't even know until it's too late and then I have to backspace and retype the word because there's no quick "undo" command.

Even taking autocorrect out of the picture (by turning it off), the lack of tactile feedback makes me drop from 90-100wpm to 45-60wpm.

Having the keyboard on the screen also eats up screen real estate that COULD be getting used for showing more text.

That said, I definitely agree with your conclusion -- a tablet is great for basic web browsing and casual writing, so if that's what you need in a portable device, then it can be a good fit.
