Alec LynchThe other week I attended a series of expert round tables for small businesses and technology companies hosted by The Insight Exchange (topics included search marketing, content curation, iPhone app development etc). Each round table had about 10 people allowing for small, up-close interactions.
My favorite round table presentation was from a guy that used his iPad to present. He propped it up on a little stand and slid through his presentation with his fingers. It was slick and effective but it highlighted something to me: the iPad is not just for watching movies in your bed - it is a powerful (okay "magical") business tool and there are actually loads of iPad apps that can help you in business!
