I read on another professional's blog that an iPad would actually be cheaper than getting another copy of his portfolio printed. Creating a portfolio can be expensive, let alone keeping it up to date with your current work.

After a few days of use I really have been enjoying the iPad and think there will be a lot of uses for phtogoraphers. Once some more apps are built I think it will be a very nice mobile device to showcase images, do some quick proofing and makes a great entertainment device. Email and web are very good and its so much more portable compared to a laptop, it is going to replace my laptop for most uses.

I wrote some a first look review here; Apple iPad first look

It's only a matter of time before a similar gadget that circumvents a patent loop hole will arrive in our stores... *twiddles fingers*
It's still a good tool for pictures, so there will be a market...

lol.

The iPad will be a unique tool as a mobile portfolio. With it's nice aluminum and sharp look's I think it will give people good first impressions if they walk up to your gallery booth.

They have a tethered shooting app for the ipod touch... well you plug the camera up to the computer and remote shoot using the ipod.

I think it would be a good presentation device but that's about it.

iPerbole = the amount of media interest and enthusiasm surrounding any new Apple product...

Hey nobody has ever thought about this. Although it has got some of the feature missing in it, but it would serve a great help towards the photographers.

How is it in any way unique?

How many other slim, shiny, aluminium tablets do you see around? I haven't seen any - thus I think it's unique.

Sure there may be some other similar products out there, but I don't think they have the appeal that the iPad has. Also just give it a few months and you'll have any app you'll ever think about :P
