During Tim's Pre CEO days, he was known to be a heavy user/lover of spreadsheets[1]. With a special affection of making the cells really small. (could not find the reference for that, but it was another Apple CXO who said it)
Not sure if he still makes/checks spreadsheeets. I find it hard that a long time spreadsheet person could quit and not get his hands dirty with the numbers.
And if he still gets his hands dirty with the numbers, I would expect it to be hard restricted to an iPad.

It's actually really easy to do spreadsheets on an iPad with a keyboard case. My wife does it all the time. It's just like on the computer, but you can touch the cells you want to look at.
The answer is almost certainly yes. I've noticed this trend for a while now -- all the execs at all the big tech companies are moving to an iPad only experience, since it does email and web and that's all they need.
