Even for blogging, the iPad is a series of compromises. While there are image editors, none are on the level of photoshop and the audio software, while it exists isn&#x27;t nearly as powerful or fast. I&#x27;m sure anything the author does, I can do faster and more efficiently with OS X. As a front end developer, sometimes contractor for TV Shows, and hobbyist musician who&#x27;s made the odd dollar, not a single one of these activities are viable on the iPad.<p>Sure, the author does fine with an iPad and seems to like it but for most people this is simply not a reality.
