Well already you see content providers like Netflix, and other companies start providing HTML5 (or through an app) instead of flash for the iPad. I think it'll continue to increase for that reason. Still interested in how Netflix is done though since there's no Silverlight or Flash on the iPad (and why not open it up to everyone else then if it's using HTML5).

Well technically the iPad (and the iPhone) can use a capacitative stylus (as much as Steve Jobs likes to argue against the idea of a stylus), though it's no more accurate than using a finger since it's still a capacitative screen. But that doesn't stop you from scribbling with it still. The iPad is more then a eBook reader, eBooks is just one out of many entertainment functions it has.

We were also discussing the differences in what people may want from something like eBooks or reading a book. For example, for some the feel of the paper and being able to have a visual physical feel of how far you've progressed is part of the experience (the iPad does have a bar similar to FBreader at the bottom that indicates where you are). My fiancee loves books and that's part of the experience to her, thus she doesn't like to read books on electronic devices. Part of the iBook app's design is to mimic the a page turn (you can do all sorts of weird things.. interesting and might add to the user experience of some but I would never find myself using it. The colleague who owned the iPad said after the first couple days he stopped using that feature). Like I said earlier, I myself prefer reading on the computer, using a page tap or button to switch to the next page.

One funny thing I noticed about the iPad though is the limited amount of ways you could use it when not using the stand or a table. You have to sit with your leg crossed (just like if you were using a laptop) which is similar to what some of the Apple demo videos shown. The first thing the colleague did when he took out the iPad was to cross his leg to create a place for it to sit. (he later used the case it comes with to use the stand functionality).

Personally I'm waiting on the day where you can fold out additional displays, or something like the Nokia morph concept video. That's what I see in the future (well until they start integrating into our bodies).
