Now that Steve Jobs released the Apple IPad several weeks ago, the dust has settled and millions of people now have an IPad and real reviews are starting to emerge in magazines, newspapers on facebook, Twiiter and the blogasphere.

The reviews have been mixed with reviewers loving, hating or staying neutral with their opinions of the IPad.

I think it will be a game changer and more companies will quickly follow with their own versions of pads. Already applications are being developed which just wouldn’t have been effective if they were offered for PC’s or laptops.

In Sydney one restaurant has eliminated paper menus and offer diners IPads that they can use to browse meals, see photographs of the dishes, read revues and order from the IPad.

Jetstar have ordered IPads that are stocked with entertainment applications such as games, newspapers, magazines and movies. The IPads will be available for hire for the flight for around $10.

Sales people are starting to throw away their flip charts, catalogues and brochures and make presentations on their IPads to clients.

Industries are emerging dedicated to developing applications for IPads. Applications are uploaded to the Apple IStore where they can be downloaded to e persons IPad for a small fee, which is usually around the $2.00 mark. But with millions of potential customers for the applications developers who hit the jackpot will laugh all the way to the bank.

I’m entering the application development business and have several apps under development, stay tuned.
