Thanks for that. Well basically, most of the time I'm using a laptop (I'm a happy user of a new MacBook Air) for coding, surfing the web and, well, doing office stuff and that's it. I guess an iPad would be too much of a toy for me, but I'm curious anyways what people do with an iPad.
It's been argued many times over but I now think we are just touching the surface of what a tablet can do. It will be eventually used for content creation. The most important thing is that people feel some kind of a natural connection to it. From there you build around it just as they did with the mouse.
Ideally, we all want people to be enthusiastic about technology and it's best that we accommodate them instead of forcing them to understand it as we do.
I can't give your path but I think we're at the very beginning. Apple's own apps have set the standard as well as Loren's Twitter app but that doesn't mean we are limited. It's up to us to define what's ahead.
As Einstein has said, imagination is more important than knowledge. From my experience, look at how kids use these things and pay attention to what what they need. They're more intelligent than we give them credit.
Computers are merely extensions of ourselves. The intent must be obvious so as not to confuse. If there is one thing I've learned from Jobs it is this.
EDIT: Look at the Elements app as well as the Al Gore (Push Pop Press) app. There are many holes left in this market where others can cause a disruption to what was the dominant presence on the PC.
