ipad – what would be a helpful app for our church staffers?

Jerry and I were having a long conversation yesterday about the ipad and a bit more today as well.( He owns a kindle and really likes it – but is ever so tempted ). One thing we talked about was how an ipad could be used for the church staff. Examples: We thought about how it might be good for sermon notes – rather than having notebook paper or whatever, having a little ipad up there while giving a sermon would be nice, or for those teaching Sunday school classes for adults to have your notes at your fingertips like that would be great too. Or for teaching kids – being able to quickly pull up pictures or videos that everyone could see (I am thinking of a small class of about 5) would be cool too. But, what about others on the church staff? Debbie and Corby working in youth ministry or Michael in accounting – what kind of apps would you find useful on something like the ipad – in terms of your work? I know Ron could probably use it for the video conferencing he is doing (it will eventually come with a front and back camera)…

Anyway – as a student – I am tempted to get one for note taking (buying a keyboard for it though) and using it in class. Work, School, Home, sharing a car, I am very mobile and having something as light as the ipad would be great.
