Craig Hockenberry on the iPhone OS’s single-application focus:

There’s an inherent benefit to only doing one thing at a time: the load of worrying about other tasks is lifted. Knowing that there isn’t anything else competing for your attention is quite liberating.

Of course, the iPad is an extension of this.

What I find most interesting is the inclusion of the iWork applications. I suspect that we’ll all benefit from working in Pages, Numbers and Keynote without the distractions of the web, Twitter or chat. And in the long run, we’ll prefer it.

Hockenberry is exactly right. Writing on an iPad could be a much more focused experience, more similar to a typewriter than a computer.
