It seems clear to me that the iPad is ideal for:
* tasks involving organization (i.e. the email client, powerpoint
presentation editing, project management)
* games. especially puzzle/board/mystery/adventure style games.
* reading books, even if it's slightly straining on the eyes, unlike
Kindle. Full book interactivity will set this thing apart (email, highlight,
comment on annotations with friends, read a book at the same time as someone
else and have full streaming video chat in order to read outloud together
(think tutoring)).
* interactive media (newspapers, magazines, books, videos). new kinds
of interactive media that we haven't quite seen yet.
* remote staff tasks (delivery vans, USGS surveyors, on the go salesmen)
* photography apps to edit and manipulate onsite, rather than waiting
to get back to the desk
* navigation (the nav companies are going to take advantage of this
one)... remember, it's still got wifi and 3g.
* communication... video/audio chat, IM, text, email, LoudTapping.
