Lisa, I really haven't had any problem with the setup. The program handles .doc formats great and I can upload and download files well on Google Docs. It will crash one in a blue moon and that was a majority of the complaints. But, I normally save once every 20 minutes. As sad as this sounds, the best feature is the ability to focus on one paper at a time.

My setup is the iPad plus a Zagg Logitech keyboard (http://www.zagg.com/accessories/logitech-ipad-2-keyboard-case)that snaps on the iPad like a case. Also, I use the Office2 HD app to do my writing. (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id364361728?mt=8). The reason I like that app the best is because it sync directly to Google Docs and Dropbox, the interface is similar to the old school WordPerfect and it has a word count feature.

So far most of the anecdotal stuff out there is about which apps to use, and few are reflecting on if there are changes to one's writing. And it's probably too soon for any systematic research to have been done. But I thought I'd check. Cheers, Greg Dr. J.
