That I can talk "face to face" with my wife while she's in China via Skype and Facetime. Being able to let family there see the dog act silly in real time or take a tour of our house from 7,000 miles away is just too cool.
I love the IPad. I use the Teleprompter App. Great for the MC work I do and general presentation work. I use a wireless microphone headset and can roam a banquet and have all the script right with me.

The best thing about my iPad...is my connection to the net, has my cook books, is my "radio", carries all my work files wherever I go, is my mini portable photo album. With my ipad, my friends and family from out of state are only "one iPad away", and most important... No one knows I'm carrying all these things inside my purse
