What is resistance of an iPad to saltwater exposure? On the internal battery? Touch screens don't work well with saltwater wet fingers.
You are exactly right. iPads are not weather resistant, don't particularly like wet conditions and are very adverse to saltwater. I wouldn't take a $700 iPad on my boat. You smartphone gives you the same capabilities without the added instability and lack of ruggedness.

No boat, back in the suds.
