iPad thoughts
I have no idea how successful the iPad will be(but I wonder if unveiling a device for which the use cases are not super clear so ahead of time could amount to premature death-by-media). I know, though, that I would love to have a couple of them around the house up on the wall. I constantly have my computer in the kitchen to read recipes while I’m pretending to cook master meals, and having a touch screen to navigate the recipes would be awesome.
Also, could you imagine having them all run the Apple Remote app? Instant “from-anywhere”(well, anywhere you had an iPad) control of your music, with a faster/easier interface than the small screen on the iPhone.
Now that I think about it, a killer use scenario might be to actually implement a “smart house”, exactly like Bill Gates’ :-) Isn’t THAT ironic?
They just need to make that magic fingerprint-resistant screen on the iPhone 3GS resistant to cooking oil & flour, as well :-)
