In honor of Apple’s iPad announcement I decided to hold an informal Facebook poll to find out what my friends would do with a new Apple iPad.
Here’s a sample of their answers.
Matthew said, “Portable blogging platform. Family photo album. Control device for external systems (ex: touchpad for desktop computer). Temporary wall art (dock on wall charger and run screensaver)”. Would definitely use it for email, as it’s a device made for consumption (vs. creation). Another use would be wireframing websites — drag and drop elements into a grid for live mockup sessions with clients.
Christopher said, “The iPad is the perfect tool for kids in school. Imagine having every book you need on a single iPad? Imagine being able to do your classwork or homework without lugging the text books and work books in your backpack or under your arm? This is a different take on One Laptop per Child (OLPC), but a decent attempt nonetheless.”
Lynton said, “To prop up the wonky leg on my dining table! I think they could have made it heaps better. I mean not even a USB port or anything.”
These are all great answers, but let’s not lose focus of what’s really important here, the humor.
Check out these great funny video ideas about using the new iPad.
