PCWorld: iPad For Business? There Are Apps For That

Brief previews of four business apps for iPad, including Webex, Instapaper Pro and iWork – and a discussion of the iPad’s appropriateness for business use.


“With less than 48 hours until the official launch of the Apple iPad, the App Store is beginning to populate with apps for the new tablet device. The first iPad apps include the requisite entertainment–like the Netflix movie-streaming app, or Need for Speed: Shift–but there are also a fair number of apps targeted specifically at business professionals.

I realize that there are techies out there who bristle every time the iPad is mentioned as any sort of business or productivity tool. To some, anything with a half-eaten fruit logo is–by default–not meant for enterprise endeavors. This group will no doubt hold out for a Windows 7 tablet like the HP Slate, or perhaps a tablet based on the upcoming Google Chrome OS.”
