I think many businesses will view it as an additional expense that many of them won’t want to pay for, though; given that the iPad can’t replace a regular laptop, they’d have to equip the worker with both.

I gave a talk recently where I talked about the importance of having a “comms appliance” for remote work, and speculated that the next generation of tablets might be even better suited than a netbook to be this appliance. I’m very interested to see how distributed teams start using the iPad 2.
