Warrington Council has splashed out on iPads to save on photcopy costs !

I have a full size laptop and know how difficult it is to "work with" files rather than simply read them. I seriously doubt the council will make its stating savings using iPads.
I don't have one so it would be interesting to hear from those that do have one if they think a council could save money using iPad rather than blackberry or netbook solutions.
