LapTop Laidback can serve as iPad Laidback, too

Over the weekend, Appletell posted my review of the Laptop Laidback stand for relaxed computing. I suggested the device can serve as a substitute for iPadding in a reclined posture, noting that The Laptop Laidback is a disarmingly uncomplicated design, essentially a laptop stand with an adjustable, inclined support tray that forms a "bridge" spanning your torso when you're reclined on a bed or sofa, letting your arms assume the recommended 90 degree elbow angle and resting on the support surface, comfortably relaxed. lb17onbed

However, I didn't cover the Laptop Laidback's potential utility as an iPad stand as well, and Laidback's inventor and president Doug Martell tells me he's personally using an iPad on a Laidback and finds its great for surfing, although for touchtyping he hasn't yet really adapted to the software keyboard.

That would be less of a problem for folks like me who don't touch type (although I do use most of my fingers in an intuitive system I've developed that can support up to about 50 words per minute, but I digress).

Doug Martell says that to type with the iPad on the Laidback, you have to slide the Laidback's support table to almost full height and keep a very steep angle, but he's found it works for him.
