Paperless Office?
Surely the iPad would make the perfect paperless system. Email your accounts/tax returns to your Zosh/e-signature account then simply take out to clients and have them authorise these documents directly on to the screen (stylus available from 3rd party makers).
Hey presto no more paper or hassle. If clients would like paper copies you could make them available (including their digital signature) for a small fee.
Kindle killer?
John - you have overlooked Amazon's Kindle. Steve Jobs demonstrated the iPad as an e-book reader and a lot of the chatter on US IT sites is already talking of the iPad as a Kindle killer. They argue that Amazon is a specialist in content, not hardware, and that it might even welcome the iPad as a step towards wider acceptance of e-books (which it could supply, while Apple supplies the hardware). The Kindle's unique feature is the built-in 3G phone connectivity, so you can browse Amazon on it and then download books instantly.
The iPad needs to be upgraded to a fully-featured large format iPhone, then we'd have a serious toy to play with! Of course, we'll still need our old iPhones to carry in a pocket and make calls on. And the larger capacity iPod to hold all our music. Oh, yes, and an iPod Nano for shooting quick YouTube videos and listening to FM radio. And a big bag to carry them all around in!
iPad software issues
I am a big fan of apple products and have been using iphone for the last two years. I love it but there are certain basic areas which apple needs improvement, especially ipad - becoming a note book, it should have multi tasking feature. iPhone also lacks this as well where as other competitive phones including blackberry and nokia offers multi tasking. The other major issue with the iPad, which is also in iphone is the ability to play flash. there are also other which might be pinching to other but not really to me is the ability to transfer media file using Bluetooth, syncing with just one itunes library etc.
Are the third party developers making these applications to run on ipad and iphone to make it a real solid gadget of the year 2010? Well it’s still being a question? I also feel that enabling of bluetooth to transfer media files will open new horizons for ipad accessories development, especially bluetooth enables accessories
