I just bought pages as well but haven't had time to play with it yet...hopefully it's not too hard to figure out!

We use Alpha Smarts at my school. They are awesome tools for writing on the go. I still write longhand when I'm on the go, or spend quality Kindle reading time.

That's very interesting how you pair the two devices! And it's so true that not having internet always there makes such a difference.

I don't have a tablet at this time, since I have a desktop (I love the big screen, and since screens are flat now and towers half the size they once were, space isn't that big an issue), a laptop (which HP says is a netbook, so maybe it is), and an android phone. But then, I don't write in waiting rooms, either. I use that time for reading professional journals and craft books.

Oh, I've had almost the same experience. Not wanting to give up writing time on the go, I bought myself an ipad. I love it, but like you, I found the virtual keyboard hard to use. Still, I managed to write a school presentation and critique a manuscript while on a long drive (I wasn't driving) thanks to the Pages app.

Thank you, Prudence, for the award. And thank you...

Thank you, Prudence, for the award.

And thank you to my new followers. I'm following you all back.

Many thanks for spreading the word about my giveaway.

Thank you for sharing your writing-on-the-go techniques and devices with me. I do sometimes go the pen and paper route.

Brinda - I didn't know. Hmmm, maybe I need an iPhone.

I'm glad you were able to get some writing done! I don't have any electronic writing devices except for my laptop, so usually I just bring a book along to read and consider my waiting time a treat. :)

Great contest, Medeia! I entered. Tweeted and facebooked too.

Hi Medeia, I too do a lot of writing on the go. After a few frustrating attempts to use modern tech I reverted to notebook and pen to use on my travels. Sometimes the old tech is best. :)

Most enjoyable post to read, I found your name on the A to Z challenge list. I have been after an Ipad for some time but have never got around to getting one.

Good luck with the challenge.
Yvonne.

2012-01-30T15:39:07.492-05:00

I'll probably have ipads etc. one day, but I prefer to write in a notebook when I'm out and about and tranfer it to my computer when I'm back home as I would make the same errors of deletion etc. that you say you've made. The only time that appointments would hold me up with writing is if i wanted to edit what I'd written and didn't want to print out reams of my WIP to take with me.

2012-01-30T11:24:25.728-05:00

I don't have an iPad but I thought about getting a netbook so I wouldn't have to lug my laptop around with me. Right now when I want to write at a cafe after work without going home first, I carry my laptop. When I work on a first draft, I do a lot of writing by hand so it's easier to work remotely.

2012-01-30T10:21:32.440-05:00

I haven't used an iPad with the keyboard before. I figured if I wanted something like that I should just buy a laptop, but I can see where it would come in handy.

2012-01-30T10:20:48.736-05:00

I just carry around a notebook and hand write when I'm waiting for appointments and stuff like that. It's not a big deal to me because I hand write first a lot. For some reason, the words seem to flow better when I'm writing than when I'm typing.

2012-01-30T09:46:25.607-05:00

Time saving devices are so important for writers. Pen and paper works for me and the Kindle is less bulky if I plan to read something while I'm waiting .

this sounds like a total sf for me :)

I have a laptop, which is fine. My husband kids use an iPad, but they don't do as much typing as I do. I haven't tried it with any keyboards. I remember using Alphasmarts in Cambridge--at least the students did sometimes for writing projects.

2012-01-30T01:40:24.484-05:00

Erm, pen and paper. Yes, I am that archaic. I carry around a messenger bag with me everywhere I go that has at least a notepad, pen, pencil and extra lead in it. I've been pondering one of those Alphasmart things, but I'm not sure how much I would use it.

Do they have those rubbery roll-up keyboards that might work with the iPad? I'm not sure how much space those take up when rolled.

2012-01-30T00:32:00.026-05:00

Argh, how frustrating that you hit Undo and couldn't find where the Redo was for a while! This all sounds way too techy for me too handle. LOL But it sounds like it really worked for you to get some writing done. I don't worry about portable, no! because I NEED A BREAK from writing sometimes. Otherwise I'd be doing it all the time. If I really must write, I print pages up and scribble on them--or I write in longhand. :)

No devices--but I have been using Skydrive recently, since it allows you to view/edit things in a browser regardless of the computer you're on.
