Can the iPad really be used for work? Could I use it to edit a spreadsheet?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Yes, you can do small things on it, type an email, read some documents, but that's about it. the iPad is NOT a laptop, and doesn't allow installation of many standard office products. When compared to an actual laptop, the many drawbacks of the iPad (including its lack of connectivity, or multitasking) clearly stand out.
The iPad is much more like the iPhone/iPod Touch, than it is a laptop/netbook. That's also why it doesn't have OS X, it has the iPhone OS. This means it also has the options (and even less, as it doesn't have a webcam, nor phone options) or a smartphone.
Now, if you were asked to exchange your laptop or desktop for an iPhone, would you accept? I don't think so.

If you’re mainly a Web surfer, note-taker, social-networker and emailer, and a consumer of photos, videos, books, periodicals and music— Ipad could be for you. If you need to create or edit giant spreadsheets or long documents, or you have elaborate systems for organizing email, or need to perform video chats, the iPad isn’t going to cut it as your go-to device.
The word and excel files have misaligned text on the Ipad.
