I've not used it much so I don't know what it's output is but my guess is it will sync with iTunes and produce text files you can retrieve on your computer. I doubt they'll be proprietary in format. Whether or not the iPad will be able to send text out via cable like the AlphaSmart I have no idea since it doesn't have the ports to do that. It's built for wireless communication.

I think those other features will be more than bonuses after a while... If I were getting an iPad as a high end AlphaSmart Neo I'd be sure to get the physical keyboard dock accessory along with it.

The iPad could be the Neo with wifi! I am thinking of getting one, and will use it like a Neo - the other iPad features would be bonuses. Do you know if the iPad's Notes feature saves as plain text and can be exported? Richard
