The ability to use a very portable CAD devise I can hold in my hands while on trips, waiting for an appointment, out in the field, or just relaxing in my living room is something I would personally find highly attractive. As a long time Vectorworks user, an iPad version of my favorite CAD software would be the perfect fit.

Its called SitePAD and will apparently work on iPhone, iTouch and iPad. The iPad version is using the screen doubling mode but theres supposed to be a native version quite close to release. Besides does screen doubling mode actually matter when were talking about a drawing canvass?? Theres more info on their website. Theres a pretty decent 2D CAD application just out.

I would have thought that would have been an interesting idea (despite, I think that people dislike things like video conferencing, hence why perhaps the 'videophone' or AIM, never really caught on?). I don't know? Perhaps adding a camera is a patent violation with Nokia somewhere down the line- who knows, because I think it is an 'insanely great' idea, but plain insane to not include one! An address book without the ability to include a photo too? Perhaps a facility will be made to sync an iPhone by bluetooth or wi-fi? I don't know. All one can do is speculate. Video conferencing?

I wonder how Unity 3D will continue to impact the 3D professional on the Mac. As a game development platform it is really superb. As for the camera gone missing on iPad? I think in Jobs' effort to keep this product squarely in the middle between a smartphone (communication) and a laptop (businesss/productivity) he took the camera out because it could be used for communication (video conferencing in particular) quite nicely.

I think the reason why both of these apps haven't really caught on yet, is because of the small screen estate, that is offered on the iPhone. Hopefully iPad will change all that. It should also be mentioned that Unity 3D has been developed for the iPhone. iPad is going to make a very good "digital portfolio" for many architects and designers, especially when paired with software such as Unity. I'm very surprised that iPad doesn't appear to have a camera. I think this is a serious oversight- especially as iPad would make a very attractive tool as a sketch and ideas pad, for creatives, visualisers etc. It should be pointed out that there already a couple of CAD apps available for iPhone, both of which technically should also work on the iPad.
