Found Footage: Box.net's iPad kickoff at D7 Consulting


A little while ago, I told you that Box.net had brought their iPads out here to California in order to give them away to D7 Consulting (originally given away thanks to a post here on TUAW). They also had a video team on site, and they've produced this little video that will show you what D7 is up to and what they are planning to do with all of those iPads.

As I said in our previous post, this will be an interesting experiment. The folks at D7 Consulting are trying to figure out how they can use both the iPads and Box.net (along with a few other common apps) to benefit their business in a profitable and helpful way. This is the first of a few videos that Box.net is producing about the process. We'll also be doing some followup sessions with D7 to see how it is all working out.

The iPad has been marketed as a consumer device, and it definitely is. However, it's also a very powerful computer, and it'll be interesting to see how these folks are able to integrate it into their everyday business, both in that office and out on the construction sites. Stay tuned for more.

Great story, this is one Apple should use to promote to more businesses. The innovation that the iPad has started has no limit. Tuaw, you always have the great stories that really make me love technology more.

Thanks! Tuaw.

Will be interesting to follow this - I really like my Table PC, because I can write notes in meeting much faster than I can type...on the other hand, I've tried touch-typing on my iPad, and it wasn't a pleasant experience...you can't put your fingers in 'home' position, because if you touch the screen, you type, so my hands kept 'drifting' to either side or up/down, because I couldn't maintain contact with the keyboard.

I see someone using some kind of pen in the video - what is that?

thanks -
