Don’t underestimate Apple iPad’s business potential

“After testing the iPad out, I’m convinced that the media, the analysts, the market, and maybe even Apple themselves are missing the most important element of the device,” Jason Schwarz writes for Seeking Alpha. “We keep hearing the same theories repeated over and over that describe the iPad as a niche e-reader and gaming device that might sell a couple million units in 2010 and a few more in 2011. The prevailing assumption is that nobody really needs an iPad like they need a laptop or a phone. After all, the iPad is for entertainment purposes only, right? It’s time to correct those assumptions.”

“iPad is primed to usher in a new era of mobile computing efficiency that will take the business world by storm. Nobody is talking about the iPad as a must have business device but that is exactly what it is,” Schwarz writes. “Anyone who previously relied on a notepad or clipboard will adopt the iPad. Doctors will use the iPad as they move from room to room and interact with patients, teachers will use the iPad as they lecture, coaches will use it as an in game video/scouting tool…think of all the real estate agents and other salesmen who operate at point of sale. Anybody who walks around at work will want an iPad to hold directly in their hands.”

Schwarz writes, “I believe the iPad will increase business efficiency in a way that has never been done and because of this, it will become Apple’s flagship product.”
