I'd use a real PC, Mac or laptop. If a laptop, then take a separate keyboard and mouse with you. And preferably a monitor also, because the screen of a laptop is situated somewhat too low to work comfortably for a long time.

<span id="INSERTION_MARKER"> I have an iMac Desk Top. I'll be out of the country for a couple months. I want to continue my writing and would like your opinion--is the iPad a good writing tool for novelists, playwrights, etc.? I hear the iPad3 may be available in the Spring. Worth the wait for me?<span id="INSERTION_MARKER">Thanks.
