John Gruber on typing and the iPad

John Gruber has written a lengthy and overwhelmingly favorable review of the iPad. His observations about typing though make me think not for me:

You absolutely do not need a hardware keyboard for it. But if you’re hoping to do any amount of serious writing with it (and, for obvious vocational reasons, I plan to), you’re going to want one.
Then why not just use a MacBook?

I have an Alphasmart Neo. I love it and do my typing on it.

The keyboard looks great. Me, I still prefer to carry pen and paper.
