I think it’ll be more usefull to buy a new iphone but maybe sometimes it’ll become a great think for all developers and we’ll be able to use dreamweaver or adobe flash on it. But now it’s only a dream.

Not unless it gets a USB port and supports flash! The iPad is just an overblown iTouch for all the Apple fan boys.

Yes, iPad will be useful for Web designers, as a platform for testing in the near to immediate future if nothing else. No way will we as Web designers be able to ignore iPad. Also, given time, I am sure some good apps will show up for development. No, Illustrator or a full-featured Photoshop aren’t available, yet, but Brushes and Inspire will be as soon as the first iPad is sold. Web development tools can’t be far behind.

I think people are missing the purpose of the iPad and getting upset it’s not what they wanted. It is an in between device with NO intention to be a full blown computer. I see this version as a test ground for the new technology used to create it. If the hardware stands up to public abuse I can see a future version running OSX.

I recently got rid of my macbook for an iMac because I needed more screen space. The only thing I miss is being able to be portable for my clients, not for myself. I never did any mobile computing unless I sat in front of a client to review work. As with most products, if it doesn’t suit your needs, don’t buy it. The iPad will work great for me. This bridges the gap for me to display concepts, add notes and keep tabs on things until I get home.

I am whole heartedly let down by the iPad. How can something with an diluted OS ever be useful to any designer/developer.

I had visions of it running coda/dreamweaver and even in the back of my mind illustrator. I’d have hours of fun drawing vectors with my finger. Alas its not to be and its nothing more than a Amazon Kindle with a colour screen.

How can you expect to design on a machine where you can only open one app at a time? Plus with the ipad not supporting flash i think it’s already shooting itself in the foot!

One may be convinced that it will prove to be a useful developing tool,but if thought in a positive way, we can have a innovative approach in navigation. To improve it Apple may change iPhone OS to Mac OS, full internet experience can be achieved this way.

Ok so it’s not as ground breaking as we were lead to believe but I think it could be useful. Most net books aren’t very good and if you want more power then you might as well buy a full on laptop.

The way that I would use it would be to display concept designs to clients. For the price I think that it would be worth it.

To improve it Apple will change it from iPhone OS to Mac OS and add full Flash support, only then will it be seen as a full internet browsing experience.
