Of the keyboard? I use the Flex 9 keyboard which is very cool. Drag for words and it remembers your input as well. The Iconia has a 10.1" screen and the keyboard is plenty big. I have added a pic.

I loaded the Beta App on my phone on Friday and I'm waiting for my 3D Cloud service to activate. I don't have a tablet yet, but this App may "force" me to buy one.

I am very happy with the Acer Iconia 500.

I"ve been using the HP IPAQ pda for several years with 3D. I carry the pda on my belt. Where do you carry the tablet? What about when you need two hands to inspect? I have no interest in producing or typing a report on site. Can it sync with my PC, so I can type on a regular keyboard, and store all the info on the PC?

Neal. I simply use the tablet to setup most of the report on site. I don't finish or print on site. 3D has a cloud service that you upload/download the report between your tablet and your home computer. It's kinda like the old version where you synced your handheld and computer. The pictures I took with my tablet were pretty nice as well.

Like Neal, I use 3D and have been using an HP iPAQ to enter data for years (on my 4th one). The concern I have with a tablet is always needing to lay it down when two hands are required, or when climbing on the roof. I have a holster that I clip to my belt and a flexible stretch cord attached to the iPAQ, I never drop it, never misplace it. When I got into the business 15 years ago I started out taking notes on a clip board, was always laying the thing down and walking off and then hunting around to try and remember where I left the dumb thing.
