Hi bbb. I have an IPad and love it but would not consider it to be the solution when it comes to word processing. A friend of mine is switching his therapy office to the IPad for medical records but he told me today that he will continue to use his main computer to document when a new patient comes in and use the IPad for repeat clients.

I would suggest that you take your DS to a store and have him try out the keyboard and see what he thinks but IPads don't come with word processing software installed on them. I'm sure it is a possible purchase in the applications software. You could also buy an IPad and a separate little keyboard that he could take with him. Most keyboards come with a little stand that the Ipad stands on, turning it into a kind of laptop.
