Before I begin, let me state that if I had the obscene money to spend, I would own an iPad. They are not as powerful as most laptops and small things like non-removable batteries bug me; however, I can imagine myself using the device and being slightly more productive. At the very least I want to play the racecar game…
My initial point is that the iPad is more of a trendy gadget, than a useful device. Exclusions of a physical keyboard, USB ports, and removable/replaceable batteries, will continue to divide iPad users from non-iOS tablet PC users. The Crux 360 (others as well) is making an effort to bridge this divide and allow iPad users a physical keyboard solution using bluetooth.
The Crux 360 is an iPad case with a bluetooth keyboard built into the cover. It’s slim and sleek design do well to complement the iPad, and the overall package is very professional looking. The Crux 360 costs about $150, but consider that is after the purchase of the iPad itself. After its added up, users have shelled out a minimum of $750 for the device and accessory. Certainly, netbook or tablet PC alternatives are much cheaper and fuller featured, but the Crux 360 is a good step in the right direction to bring the iPad closer to the competition.
