Any tips or suggestions welcome.

And I thank you all for the previous info. You convinced me Apple is the way to go.

1. LOL! Immediately turn off autocorrect.......

I get my biggest laughs from http://www.damnyouautocorrect.com/ and it seems that it's 90% iPhones and iPads! Have fun with it otherwise.

Having never had either a smartphone, pad or tablet, I can't otherwise advise.

2. No. Autocorrect helps far more than it hurts

I know that You mean this as a joke, but you need to be careful about advice on things were you have zero experience.

3. I did mean it facetiously, promise!

All my friends have them, so I use them. I just don't have the wherewithal, or I might, too. Agreed, autocorrect does more good than harm, but like some hysterically funny tweets, most of the submissions to my giggle site literally have my sides hurting from laughter.

No insult intended; I have a lot of experience on equipment/machinery/electronics that I cannot afford to own.

5. If you dislike typing with an on-screen keyboard, try the MyScript Stylus keyboard.

It's free - can't hurt to try. It works surprisingly well (for me at least).

I also think the MyScipt Calculator is amazing (also free, although there are some features that require in-app purchases - but I think they are only a couple of dollars).

7. YES! My husband uses this consistently.

I've been a typist (?) since 1969, had to learn on a manual. So keyboard is my way. Spouse was forced to learn and still doesn't like to. Maybe I've kept the keyboard just to get some of mine back, but actually it's the $$.

8. I did buy a keyboard to go with it.

I'm so old school (or maybe just old).
