ipad in the role of laptop
I’ve been hearing a lot speculation over how people will ultimately use their ipads. Only time will tell how user behaviour will change in the adoption of this new device. What we’re finding already on the jail-broken ipads is that the more things change, the more they stay the same. It’s unlikely we’ll be toting the ipad around everywhere we go as we do our iphones but for long trips, it’s the ultimate companion.
I suspect books, newspapers, magazines, comic books and video will be the content family of choice when users bring it along. For those who feel conflicted and wonder if they might miss their netbook or laptop…well, there’s an app for that.
Check out this video of the ipad as a laptop using a bluetooth mouse:
