Sure, suprise me. I'd really like to see a video of someone typing for an hour or two on an iPad without needing a chiropractor afterwards and in the end producing more text than he'd produce on a laptop or netbook with a stock text editor. If you have trouble focusing, maybe it's because your body is in an awkward posture.
I don't own an iPad, but even thinking about the angle, that I'd have to look at it from while it rests on my lap, hurts my neck.

The iPad's form factor is exactly the same as reading a book or writing on a tablet of paper, two activities that have been going on for centuries. Not that reading and writing are the most ergonomically correct activities, either... but the notion that the iPad is contributing to a new form of neck pain is a bit ridiculous.
You can write on a tablet with one hand. You need two hands to type on the iPad, unless you're reclined in the "Steve Jobs-on-a-couch position" or hunched over a table.
