Some industry analysts believe that the recent release of the iPad could mean an "iPod moment" for magazines, newspapers and books; in the same way iPod altered the way we enjoyed music. iPad may reinvigorate our interests in novels and books by presenting text in new rich and fun ways. For example, today's papers could be wirelessly sent to the iPad, complete with social network integration or live discussion forums to debate the important subjects of the days, while embedded audio and video would certainly bring stories to life; you could retrieve archive magazines to your iPad, or view the recent articles, fashion features and news in a digital format that can give you the same glossy feel of a fashion magazine; and before settling down to watch a documentary, you could access interactive contents or watch interviews along the way, akin to DVD's "director's commentary". All this will surely come at a steep price, of course, but any news junkies can be hooked.
iPad Could Change Your Media Usages Pattern. iTunes is an important component of your iPad. The software gives you a chance to manage your music collections, buy songs, and watch TV shows and movies - which make the iPad a compelling entertainment gadget. Indeed, it could even replace Apple TV, as it has the necessary ports and plugs to connect to a TV, bringing all of those media services to your hands. Apple's earlier acquisition of Lala, a music-streaming service also suggests that the iPad might be the earliest device to offer subscription services and Spotify-esque music streaming through the iTunes store. Your tablet could also be utilized as a streaming hub for managing movie and music collections and wirelessly "transmitting" this content to any compatible devices in your home.
iPad Could Bring You A Seamless Augmented Reality.

The iPad's huge screen makes it appropriate for really smart augmented reality applications; a price comparison web site, for example, could develop an application that allows buyers to hold their iPad up near shelves of books, DVDs or the latest gizmos, and share basic information as well as short reviews. The iPad will, of course, need at least a 1.3 Mp camera for it to work adequately, and let’s hope that iPad will soon release a separate camera for iPad.
iPad Could Be Your Next Portable Gaming Device. Video games journalist attended the iPad launch, an obvious sign that the iPad will be more than a simple media tool. The massive success enjoyed by video games on the iPhone Touch has caught Apple by surprise, but it can be a different story with the iPad.

The important selling point is a huge touch-screen, which will likely process input from hands and fingers touching the screen at the same time, opening up the chance of even greater control over vehicles, characters and other objects in video games.
