The iPad with IOS 4.2 is rival to the MacBook Air in terms of productivity

Brooke Crothers, CNET reporter, said that by upgrading to iOS 4.2 and its new features : multitasking, folders, etc, the iPad has become a true rival to the MacBook Air.

Brooke also said that the iPad is a device such as "pick up and use." This is great for journalists as it lets you take notes from anywhere quickly and easily. Others may use it to surf the Internet, play games, send E-Mail, etc. and all these tasks are much more comfortable in iPad in MacBook Air.

In the very near future, the new model iPad will be even more functional thanks to the inclusion of camera for FaceTime, said Brooke.
