Apple iPad: First thoughts on how it will impact business users

Lots of people are talking about Apple's new iPad device, but TechRepublic and ZDNet analyze it from the perspective of its impact on business users.

The Big Question is a joint production from ZDNet and TechRepublic that I co-host with Larry Dignan. This is a special episode, covering the Apple iPad announcement. Larry was busy writing his analysis of the iPad so I had two special guests: ZDNet editor Andrew Nusca and TechRepublic editor Bill Detwiler.
