Hey guys. Anyone using an iPad for photography? I do a little photography on the side and I'm entertaining the idea of getting an iPad for field use and basic editing. Anyone doing this? What do you like / dislike? What apps do you use? I've seen the adaptor to use an SD card with it, is there one for a CF card?

While I am not a photographer, one of my very close friends is and uses the Ipad for everything. He loves it. I am not sure what programs he uses to edit but he likes having a protable editor/portfolio. He carries it everywhere ready to show off his work.

The next gen iPad is coming out soon supposedly with built-in camera and USB port. The quality Android tablets are supposed to start dropping in the next month or so based on CES revelations.

I am leaning more toward a large tablet as my next work computer instead of a laptop. If you would have asked me to consider such a thing 6 months ago I would have laughed.

Mobile computing is about to go nuts in the next three years as more devices beyond the tablets start hitting the market. Expect laptop sales to begin plummeting much as desktop sales has done in recent years.

All that said, I still would like a new Macbook Pro for Final Cut & AE if someone would like to drop one in my lap for my video work.

I swear to donuts! If Apple comes out with a Camera Ipad after I just dropped a grand on my wife for her birthday, I'm going to be ticked!

Blackberry just came out with their tablet, and HP is supposed to have one real soon. If HP goes with Microsoft instead of WebOS (which is looks like they initially are), I think that's a huge mistake.

Speaking of CES, everything seems to be really quiet this year. Or maybe I just haven't been paying attention. Of course, Apple doesn't participate, and HP is throwing their own big event next month.

Didn't HP spend a ton of money on Palm specifically to get WebOS? Why would they abandon it?

That's why you wait and get one after the new model comes out. All the portable products (ipod, iphone, ipad) are on one year cycles (sometimes even less than that). iPod Classic is the one to break from that trend and that only happened once. http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/
