I'm exploring the sketchbook capabilities right now and I'll be posting about it in a day or two(or three...). I like it as a machine and the whole concept behind it is great. I really want the tablet to succeed as a platform and replace laptops forever. I'm def gonna take a look at the connect app too. Thanks for the tip! @David I wrote this blog using the WordPress app, so I agree it’s possible to work on it, lightly.

I've already used it to script comics (Pages app), doodle sketch ideas (Sketchbook Pro app) and used a number of apps to sync everything to my desktop computer while out and about(Connect app). The portfolio idea isn't something I thought of right away, but I can see it really working. I have to admit, I'm not a Mac guy, but I love the iPhone / iPad interface. It's more convenient to use than a traditional laptop, especially when taking it out, starting it up and using it when I have a few minutes to spare.

That is a lot better than carrying around dead tree copies of your work. The iPad doesn't seem to me to have been designed with that in mind, but in future versions and even upcoming Android tablets, maybe they could be designed to be virtual briefcases for business. Love the portfolio idea tho, and my next website redesign is loosely based on that concept. Thanks Leah you make a great point that I didn’t even consider.

I think it is great for designers they can use the iPad to show off their portfolio. Wouldn't it be cool to go to a client/interview and say let me show you my portfolio and pull out the iPad and show your work instantly or your on a train or plane and someone wants to see your work and there you go! Besides the functionality I do like the look better then the other tablets out there. It's pretty smooth and contemporary for the eye. I'm one month away from getting mine... Just have to decide which one. Thanks for the blog Charles :) You made some great points regarding the iPad. I think it is great for designers they can use the iPad to show off their portfolio.
