First up, 9to5mac reports that in a survey by medical lynch-pin Epocrates [Free - iTunes], up to 60% of doctors were at least considering an iPad:
-9 percent want it now
-13 percent want it this year
-38 percent were interested and wanted more info

Next, Mac developer Omni Group, which has dipped a toe into iPhone development with Omni Focus [$19.99 - iTunes], has decided to port than entire portfolio of apps — OmniGraffle, OmniOutliner, OmniPlan, OmniFocus, and OmniGraphSketcher — to iPad even if it delays development of the Mac versions:
Remember how Macintosh was intended to be the computer “for the rest of us“? That’s what we feel Apple’s iPad is: the best computing device for most of the things people use computers for. (Or, as Apple puts it, “the best way to experience the web, email, and photos.”) It’s the computer people can sit down and start using immediately, without training, whether they’re 2 or 92.
Having seen many workers struggle with inelegant interfaces and fidget with poorly conceived controls, the idea of a great app on a 9.7″ multitouch screen will no doubt be highly appealing to some. An app that could work across iPhone, iPad, and desktop could also allow for quick reference when on the go, easy exploration when on site, and powerful organization and reporting when back at the desk. Sound appealing to you?

What is education? It’s the powerful knowledge you’ll experience from targeted training that takes you to a higher level!

The Amway Global Learning Center application includes a video and discussion guide featuring secrets of successful selling from real IBO’s, a video and a collection of tips on engaging your audience by Tony Jeary, and a video and discussion guide on why Amway is the right business for you. In addition to providing unlimited viewings (no network connection required), the app also includes a leader-follower feature that allows synchronous viewing of each discussion guide (only available on 2nd generation iPhone and iPod touch devices). The app also allows users to email a friend links to the app, and a link to the Amway Global website where you can login with your IBO number and access The Learning Center online.

With concepts ranging from training, events, and alliance management, the Amway Global Training and Education department is in constant pursuit of the goal to deliver essential training to every IBO in North America – at each stage in their lifecycle – from a new IBO to an established leader. Currently, training is developed and delivered in six modes: instructor-led training, online learning, webinars, video, audio, and print. The future vision for Amway Global Training and Education is to continually design, develop, and deliver training to IBOs that will help them become more productive and dynamic in all walks of the business.
