Could the iPad revolutionise coffee-shop meetings?

Sure. We’ve heard how the iPad will soon become a popular device for watching videos, reading online newspapers and downloading books online. But one really useful application of the iPad that has barely been talked about is its potential function as a presentation and meeting tool.

In the early days of Anthill, I’d rarely leave Anthill HQ without a laptop and mini-projector on hand to provide prospective investors, clients and other stakeholders with a visual demonstration of Anthill’s values and purpose. More recently, I regressed to carrying a traditional artist’s portfolio of colour print-outs, after too many coffee-shop meetings characterised by awkward silences caused by technology glitches or the simple absence of power-sockets.

However, come late April, I’m guessing that this won’t be much of a problem for entrepreneurial business builders and sales professionals.

MightyMeeting is a tool that lets you run presentations and meetings from your iPhone, and now, iPad, whether doing something in person or across the world. Move over flip-charts, laptop presentations and awkward coffee shop moments. Here comes MightyMeeting the iPad.

    This article makes no sense. Tell me what an iPad can do that a laptop can’t. When you’re done trying, I’ll tell you what a laptop can do that an iPad can’t.

    OK, I’ll bite. The iPad can run for 12 hours without a recharge. Your laptop?

    @luke agreed.

    iPad hype is reaching (stooping) to new levels of ridiculous. The thing has been out for a week and it already has technical issues with it’s wifi which contribute to an underwhelming “innovation”. It’s a giant iPhone touch. Get over it.

    “It’s a giant iPhone touch. Get over it.”

    …But without the phone, right?

    so, iPad = Giant iPhone – Phone,
    = Phone (Gianti-1)

    You’re right, it is ridiculous.

    Got to love that battery life, though. And I guess it will last even longer if you leave it switched off.

    If you have been successful at lining up a presentation that requires laptop and projection device then said meeting is NOT going to take place in a coffee shop. The distressing thing about all of this technology is that it is cubiclising people when they are out in public. Witness the number of people in a group at a pub or coffee shop or even walking down the street who are communicating with people NOT in the group they’re with. How this leads to effective social or business intercourse is beyond me.

    What I don't really like on IPad is they don't have a USB slot so if you will create a good presentation you must do it on the IPad itself.

    For great presentations on the iPad also try the iPad app called Picture Link.

    Picture Link enables you to link images on your iPad. Use it to hold interactive non-linear presentations on your iPad, no matter what presentation program you are used to. Develop iPad application prototypes without any programming skills or simply develop picture stories that have a tap-enabled navigation.

    I created an app to fill the gaps of wanting to see what is on my ipad screen while presenting, and also having a remote control.

    Point App

    * Rearrange the order of your slides on the fly
    * Display your current slide on the iPad screen while it is connected to a projector or external monitor
    * Remote control your slides with the Control Point app for the iPhone and iPod touch
    * Remote control your iPad volume with the Control Point app for the iPhone and iPod touch
    * 10-hour iPad battery life with WiFi & 3G switched off.
    * 18-hour iPhone battery life with WiFi & 3G switched off.

    Modern technology takes a lot changes to the industry. NO doubt that there are many alternatives to utilize just to make an impressive presentation. Thus, it makes the presenter an outstanding one.

This morning, I sat down with my 9-month old son, Julian, to feed him breakfast. This is one of the jobs allocated to me as a first-time, new father. Remembering the arduous steps required to complete yesterday morning’s meal (and the day before that), and contemplating how bizarre it is that I must work so hard to provide him something that will make him stronger and healthier and happier, I began to think about online marketing. Yes, the brain works in mysterious ways. (And I am kind of sleep deprived.)
