The iPad is all about consuming content, but most of the conversation about that content has seen it in traditional silos:
- Audio, through iTunes
- Video, also through iTunes
- iPhone apps (and now iPad apps), through the App Store
- Books, through iBooks
- The Web, the most open of these options.
The last of those options, however, can incorporate all of the rest - even the iPhone applications. Given the space on the iPad screen and the reported speed of its A4 processor, web design is actually the easiest way to create applications for the iPad.
