How would one prop up the screen? What keyboards are available and are they any good?&lt;p&gt;I feel like Apple has reached a local maximum with the iPad as a consumption-oriented device and I&apos;m just waiting to see who delivers the first tablet geared towards getting things done. MS appears to be promising this with Surface, but it remains to be seen how successful they are.&lt;p&gt;To anyone on HN who has used an Android tablet for productivity purposes (writing, coding, etc), how has it gone?</text></comment>
