iPad UX

UX Magazine [via Hundred10]: “Our 2-year-olds can use it. It’s a brilliant entertainment device. But what sort of business potential does the iPad offer? Several companies have shown interest in mobile payment systems from startups like Square to mega-corporations like Visa. But what is the iPad’s user experience in a real-world, business environment?”

I believe we’ll see a bunch of Enterprise level development blossom for the iPad. I think it could be gigantor in Medical. Hospitals are way behind the curve but this device may run to the forefront, especially if Doctors and Nurses embrace it. My brothers hospital didn’t have plans to include any Apple devices in their mix until a Doctor asked for an iPhone, now they’re poised to distribute 100 iPads into their workflow. Amazing.

We’re just seeing the beginning. I believe the iPad will work its’ way into the everyday enterprise workflow. Like more enterprise computing, it’s just going to take some time.
