While the iPad is widely regarded as great media consumption device, cleverly designed apps that take advantage of its touch interface, rather than suffering from its ergonomics, can turn the iPad into an effective media creation device.
Many music apps already popular on iPhone have been ported to iPad, taking advantage of its superior hardware. The iPad’s larger touch screen is nothing but a blessing in this usage scenario, and there are already a good number of new apps being released: Seeing them in action will help even the fiercest iPad skeptic admit that Apple’s tablet can be used to create media, and sometimes it can be even an ideal solution.
