Countdown to iPad – iPhone 4×4 (Use Case 23)

Filed under Gaps + Mobile + Technology

A great many iPhone apps would benefit from the larger screen real estate provided by the iPad. However, there are quite a few apps that are fine in their current format. In one of my many day dreams… I see Apple providing a framework that allows 4 normal-sized iPhone apps to run simultaneously. Not only does this allow us to mashup our favorite apps, but we can cut-and-paste text, images, video and audio in-between apps. Whoa hang on, since it is my day dream… we can drag-and-drop text, images, video and audio in-between apps… there that’s better.

Yes, you're once, twice, four times an iPhone... and I love you!

iPad - the ultimate iPhone masher-upper.

Countdown to iPad – All Shook Up (Use Case 22)

Filed under Gaps + Mobile + Technology

In October 2004, Apple introduced the iPod U2 Special Edition as part of a partnership between Apple, U2 and Universal Music Group. It was the online music industry’s first-of-its-kind “Digital Box Set,” and contained over 400 tracks including all of the band’s albums and over 25 rare and unreleased tracks.

With the launch of iPad, 2010 might well be the year of the iPad Elvis Special Edition. iPod is great for presenting music collections and iPad is great for showing off music and everything else. The Elvis SE iPad would showcase the troubadour’s music, music videos, movies, album art, and memorabilia. Complete with multi-media biography it would be the world’s first-of-its-kind, “Digital Coffee Table Book/Media Set,” focused on the life and music of the King of Rock-n-Roll. What better way to celebrate two great events, the birth of the iPad and the 75th Anniversary of the birth of Elvis Presley.

Mom, this one is for you!

Countdown to iPad – Medical Imaging (Use Case 21)

Filed under Gaps + Mobile + Technology

iCRco introduced their image viewing application, iClarity, for the iPhone at the RSNA( Radiological Society of North America) trade show in 2009. According to iCRco website, “With this app a radiologist can configure an existing Clarity PACS to mirror the archive to his or her iPhone instantly. This allows the radiologist to see the patient list, studies waiting to be read, and can decide whether the patient needs immediate attention.” I believe the iPad will make an even better medical viewer and apparently iCRco agrees. They have added “iPad” to their app store documentation.

Countdown to iPad – Shop at home (Use Case 20)

Filed under Gaps + Mobile + Technology

The weather outside is frightful, but shopping with iPad so delightful. Curl up with cocoa and iPad in your overstuffed chair and browse your favorite catalogs. Savor a peaceful, unhurried experience while leaving behind crowded stores, traffic jams and parking lots. A touch of a finger is all it takes to compare prices/styles and finish your holiday shopping… without ever leaving the comforts of home.

Countdown to iPad – Out to Eat (Use Case 19)

Filed under Gaps + Mobile + Technology

When iPads hit the restaurants, managers will be able to update specials on the fly. Servers are notified they are out of lobster before taking the order. No more waiting for your order to reach the kitchen while your server waits other tables. Add a wireless card reader/printer and settle the check right at the table, keeping your card in sight at all times.

iPad: How would you like that?

Countdown to iPad – Playbook (Use Case 18)

Filed under Gaps + Mobile + Teams + Technology

The score is tied, the clock’s run out and the team needs a win. Everyone gathers round coach as he pulls out the iPad and draws the play. Players quickly see and understand their assignments. Go team!

The iPad playbook is great from the community leagues to the majors. Plays are shown in motion and inspirational videos are ready for the opportune moment. For the volunteer coach without much experience there are glossaries, rule books and video tutorials. In the Pros every player is issued their own iPad playbook. If lost or stolen, it’s password protected and can be remotely wiped clean. With iPad it’s a whole new ball game.

Countdown to iPad – Gone Shopping (Use Case 17)

Filed under Gaps + Mobile + Technology

Do you carefully put together your shopping list only to get to the store and you can’t find your list anywhere? The iPad solves that and other shopping headaches for you. As one of our readers suggested, prepare your list on your iPad, comparing it with online ads, ecoupons and specials. You can even download the layout of your most frequented stores to make shopping a breeze.

Keeping a home inventory on your ipad, along with favorite recipes insures that you never forget that last item for a meal. You’ll also know when to stock up on sale items.

iPad: at the top of every list.

Countdown to iPad – Law Enforcement (Use Case 16)

Filed under Gaps + Mobile + Technology

The need for accurate and up-to-date information is no greater than with law enforcement. However, access to to this information is often limited by how the long arm of the law gets around. With iPad, our friends in blue have access to everything they need regardless of their ride. Powerful enough for any cruiser, compact enough for backpack or saddle. Sometimes big solutions really do come in small packages.

Countdown to iPad – An Apple a Day (Use Case 15)

Filed under Gaps + Mobile + Technology

Doctor’s offices are becoming more modern and more impersonal all the time. Instead of a face-to-face interview with your healthcare professional, they are sitting on the other side of the room, staring at a computer screen.

Meet iPad, the cure for the common cold shoulder. With iPad in hand, nurses and doctors look you in the eye as they enter your information. Office visits go back to be being personal and sensitive information is not left on unattended computers. The iPad travels from room to room with the practitioner, forgoing the need for them to log-in each time they enter the room.

iPad: just what the doctor ordered.

Doctor, doctor

Doctor, doctor

In Countdown to iPad – Teammate (Use Case 12) we showed the Pogo Sketch stylus in action. It is our hope that Ten One Design will turn out other models… with at least one fit for a doctor’s pocket protector.

Countdown to iPad – Sheet Music II (Use Case 14)

Filed under Gaps + Mobile + Technology

In Countdown to iPad – Sheet Music (Use Case 2) we introduced iPad as an effective way to manage sheet music. Once sheet music is in the iPad, there is so much more you can do with it. Add a wireless mic/acoustic pickup and the right software and you have an iPad that can listen to you play. As some of our readers imagined, this would make it possible for the iPad to know when to automatically turn the page. Moreover, adding Rockband-like-qualities to the sheet music software turns your iPad into a music teacher/trainer.
