The aftermarket will kick in, and there are going to be so many vendors offering creative add-ons. I have a few I could forsee (anyone want to make money...feel free to explore...:)
A thing you can put around your neck that will hold the iPad about a foot away from your face and off your chest a bit, to watch a movie.
Or a holder for the iPad that straps onto your forearm so you can just put your arm down and work with your hands.
A small row of controls that fits onto the docking port and attaches securely to the side of the iPad, so that when you hold it, your fingers come up from underneath and rest on the row of buttons or controls that can be programmed to do various things.
I think it has a lot of potential. I had not seen one yet, and last night, I decided to pre-order a 3G model.
I came into work today, and I ran into two people who actually had iPads with them. A very, very cool device.
I’ll tell you where I’d love to go with the iPad. College textbooks. Students are plunking down $800 to $2000 a semester for textbooks. A college trig textbook can run close to $200. Imagine putting together a company that could sell books for generic 1st and 2nd year college course and selling them through iBooks for $40 instead of the $200 many companies are demanding.
