A special tool for a special job
Just announced yesterday the Apple iPad on further thought is going to be an ideal tool for photographers.
Imagine being out on a job or assignment shooting in RAW and JPEG basic. Once the shoot is over you can review the images with the client or staff right on the spot before leaving and give them a chance to offer comment and feedback. Then later review them yourself and make notes while having lunch. As you get ready to move into your afternoon you meet a potential new client who wants to see a sample of your work. Well you pull out the iPad, get a slideshow up and going and impress them right away. This will save them so much time because even if you give your website, the potential client may forget the address or not get to it until much later. With the iPad you make the pitch on the spot. That is the vision I have for the iPad. This is I think a photographer’s dream tool. No fuss, no laptop to carry around and boot up. That is how I will use it once I get one.
With the iPad will come iWork that has been redesigned for the iPad. iWork set consists of Keynote, Pages and Numbers.
