07 70 iPad Video Wall
Hospitality Social promoted their booth at the National
Restaurant Association Show 2011 by creating a 70 iPad video
wall using the iPad app The Matrix. This is not simple video
splitting where the iPads are just dumb monitors, but a live
editable animation running without any cables or external
processing. Just 70 iPads, a cool app, and nothing else!
http://www.ugnn.com/2011/05/70-ipad-video-wall/
-------------------------------------------------------------------
08 iMedicalApps
I remember going to a Boston Computer Society Fair in
the mid 80s where we had setup a room for medical software
vendors to talk to doctors. The big thing there was that the
vendors almost never got to spend more than 15 minutes with
the doctors at any other location, but at the fair they got
to spend hours finding out how doctors thought the software
could b e improved. Now the software is moving to iOS
devices, especially the iPad.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
09 First App of MD Series Anemia
It seems to me that every doctor has an iPhone except for
those few who have iPads. (They probably have both.)
This is one more reason for them to have them.

10 Two iPads Required for OfficeBleepster

released iPad App that makes it possible for business
executives to increase effectiveness and productivity while
handling interruptions efficiently.
