Ok, a non-business post related to the iPad (I couldn't resist after spending time with this app over the weekend). With the release of the iPad 2, Apple has unveiled the iMovie app. iMovie, just as it sounds, makes it simple (REALLY simple) to create movies right on the iPad. It provides easy access to your content (photos, video and music), which can be easily manipulated and output to a movie file.
In about 30-45 minutes, I was able to create a 4 minute video using pictures of my kids and stream it to my LCD TV (using AirPlay and the AppleTV).
Although designed for the iPad 2, it is possible to put the iMovie app on the first-generation iPad (Wired.com provides an excellent overview of how), which is what I did. Granted, this is not a real straight forward process, but it does work and is worth the effort to figure it out.
The downside of iMovie? You need to have the content you want to use stored locally on your device, meaning pictures, video and the music library. This can take up a significant amount of space, depending on the amount of content you have.
