For <a href="http://store.micgadget.com/292-aluminium-keyboard-buddy-case-for-ipad-2.html" target="_blank">$49.95 over at MIC</a>, you can pick up this case that appears to make your iPad 2 into a notebook of sorts. I don't think notebooks per se will ever be obsolete, but this is one of the nicest couplings of keyboard and iPad that I have seen and I would definitely consider using this. What are your thoughts? Are notebooks going away? Should you get ahead of the crowd and get one of these now? </p>
