you are going to love my video on the ipad, it is all about using it for business. its uploading now. People do not understand that the logistical chain in software is much cheaper via the iphone os vs using a full blown desktop os. great video. you are stating the very same things. 5 stars.

I also work in I.T. - Primarly we are Windows based desktop/laptops/mobile devices. However management seem to like the iPad - probably because compared to other OS's it very simplitic, I totally disagree that the PC is dead though Steve Jobs was so wrong about this, however as simple mail reader and browser its sufficient enough. Andriods are lot more difficult for typical user ie senior management, I mean I reckon most people on here - could configure one with their eyes shut.

4) My $700 i7 based pc that's faster than an $1700 imac for rendering is a good example. I suspect tablets will be a money makers for some niche businesses that need to maintain a certain image to prospective buyers. It all depends on what they are selling or doing of course. It could be ipad, but again, in many cases if someone can pick up a $130 tablet to show real estate pictures, they will. It's too early to tell, but I suspect the future of business will echo this pattern.

3) only choose something if cuts operating costs way down and makes them more money. Historical that leaves apple out of the picture because they tend to make image based products that often are outdated, slower and more expensive. Or are quickly surpassed by competition. PC market has proven this over and over with faster, higher quality, cheaper solutions. iFans can claim it's the opposite by quoting apples misleading, exaggerated advertising, but succeeding businesses know the truth.

2) -  choose apple for the same reasons they didn't in the pc sector. They will likely choose some other tablet if they need to display pictures for purposes such as sales. apple is primarily pitched to the younger, uninformed crowd who happens to be ready to spend in order to usually make a fashion statement, or show a college they could "afford" one. They are mostly used for showing off and entertainment. Of course the tablet can do anything, but in the end a business will

translation... "Can I bring my TOY into the office to play with it and look like I'm doing something important?", lol. Simple OS is not the reason. Potential may be large, but it's still larger with what they already use, pcs. It's not that it can work. It's that why would a business use something that is less practical, more expensive and would slow them down? Of course there are nich applications that could benefit from tablets, but that is the key word and not ipad. They wouldn't

there is a app that takes credit cards. you just type in the card number and it charges the card on the spot. you can even buy a card swiper and wipe it aswell.

no extra work done...

You know, on the apple website. they have videos showing business use of the Iphone. I wish they had this for the ipad. To show of this "potential" . I wonder how many companies are making custom apps for the Ipad so far.

Sir, I have a gentalmen that is computer deficinet that is currently running an A/C company in Florida. Needless to say, busy. Does the ipad have an application that pdf forms can be completed by writing on the screen in the applicable field location that will translate into a completed form, record and business application tracking record? I have two Macs but primarily utilize them for graphics and sign creation. Thank you for your assistance please email me at Bhuffsmith@tampabay.rr.com.

The iPod touch has an awesome calculator and the apps are great I rather the iPod touch or iPhone cause it's more portable carrying the iPad out I would be way to afraid of it getting stolen or dropping it
