Anyone thinking of buying an iPad?

[Vault_girl]

an apple fanatic I know brought his shiny new iPad round the other week... He gave it to me to have a go on... first thing I did? drop it! oops!
I have to admit it was "shiny" but the fact was it just seemed like one huge iPhone. It got used mostly for playing sonic (the original from sega megadrive) on. The owner said he still hadn't found a good enough excuse for buying it yet other than the book feature on it - in which case go get a kindle!

I"m finding that I'm going to see clients more and more and having to go through technical drawings onscreen with them. The gestures on the trackpad on my laptop are invaluable for easy navigation of large drawings. The touch screen capabilities of the iPad would simplify this further. And look damned impressive. That seems reasonable, will pitch it tomorrow.

I tell you something though, if they bring out a 15 or 17 inch version of the iPad I'd buy one tomorrow.

what would they call it?

I'm off to the apple store later for a business consultation. I shall report my findings later, if there are any particularly good business uses I should find out from the 'experts'.
