i think there are a lot of new areas for something like a tablet -- take for instance, a lot of designers these days are using iPads/tablets as portfolio devices in interviews or with clients. Instead of clunky paper portfolios or simply throwing someone your website and asking them to check it out later or after the interview, you can bring in your tablet, show off some nice high res images, zoom in and out. It adds interactivity to the interviewing experience, especially if you can bring up a website design you might have done and show exactly how it works.

- nickythegreek 16y agoOne of my previous clients, a couple of tattoo/piercing shops, just emailed me to be on the lookout for used iPads. They want to use them to show off the artists portfolios but also for to showcase their extensive jewelry collection and pricing. It feels like a great way to allow the client to be more invested in the artist, and they can even use the ipad2 camera and drawing apps to sketch tattoos without ever leaving a potential client. I've been trying to convince them to try out the POS options as well. Being able to replace a bulky $4000 point of sale system into an ipad portfolio/register is pretty sexy.
