Walt Mossberg talks about ways to use office productivity apps on an iPad. It's not a way I'd want to work, but some will find the features helpful. Somehow, these apps, intended to remedy the inability to import apps and files using a USB port or other method, seem to defy the tablet's basic nature.
I wouldn't necessary call any PC "elegant," but doing the sorts of things these apps allow you to do on an iPad just suggests you should be using a different device. There are lots of things an iPad or tablet handles quite well, but standard office productivity apps don't strike me as being among those things.
My shovels, rakes, pitchforks and trowels aren't elegant, either. But they do precisely the job I need them to do.
