[Gary Huff] "I think those who are touting iPad video editing would probably end up doing it a handful of times for the novelty of it, then never touch it again."

Oh, I agree. After a year and a half with an iPad, my thinking on them is that they are useful, but do not in any way represent the end of keyboard computers. After the gee-wiz factor wore off, I realized fairly quickly that mice, tablets and track pads are often far more useful to me than direct screen touch. In fact, one of the best used for the iPad is as a smart, visually enabled trackpad for other devices. I use it as a controller all the time.

Of course, what do we mean by editing? While I was Google-exploring whether or not FCP X could work on a MacBook Air, I came across a bit of video that somebody claimed to have edited with X/Air. In fact, they head-lined that fact on their blog. It was family footage with four or five cuts that went on for three or four minutes. So, I'm guessing iPad/X will be just fine for him.
