Blast-off... Now just watch that baby rocket upwards!
For the USA, it is finally here, the most space age piece of computer hardware to hit the mainstream and one that I believe, within a year, we will all see used in places that we would not expect.
To quote Jason Schwarz on Seeking Alpha, which continues my thread and suggests that currently the iPad is being underestimated for business.
To quote Jason...
"Anyone who previously relied on a notepad or clipboard will adopt the iPad. Doctors will use the iPad as they move from room to room and interact
with patients, teachers will use the iPad as they lecture, coaches will use it as an in game video/scouting tool...think of all the real estate agents and other salesmen who operate at point of sale. Anybody who walks around at work will want an iPad to hold directly in their hands"... "Business specific apps will be developed that allow these professionals to execute their tasks with minimal typing requirements."
Even from today, the iPad has many thousands of Applications that it can run and developers have been enhancing their applications for iPad, as well as designing new applications.
