iPad Thoughts

from David Pogue.  It sounds like he got it right:  it’s not an iPhone but more a “vessel”– I guess that means a portable platform– and really a “1.5 pound sack of potential.”

On the subject of voice, the iPad will support  Blue Tooth and WiFi.  So it’s possible to do Voice-over-IP calls with a wireless headset.  Yes, I  know the iPad is not meant to be  used as a giant cell phone.

So here’s my contrarian view on the iPad: it has the makings for  a neat business communications hybrid.  The kind of  fun-to-use computer-voice gadget that the enterprise business phone makers have been talking about for years.
