I don’t know how I was able to miss this incredible interview of Shawn Blanc, including his thoughts about content creation on the iPad:

To say the iPad and iPhone are not meant for creating content is to assume that making something involves only one step and can be done with just one tool.

Well suppose you couldn’t use the iPad to draw or write and you couldn’t use the iPhone to take pictures or edit short movies. Even still, if you could only ever read, watch, or listen to things with the iPad and iPhone they would still be valuable tools for creating content. The best writers are also avid readers. The best photographers are always framing shots even when they’re not holding a camera. The best teachers would actually say they are students. My point being that those who create also consume, and if the iPad and iPhone are helping more people to read more and etcetera, then that is a step towards better content production in and of itself.

But you can produce content on the iPad and iPhone. I mean, who has the right to define what content creation is anyway? True content creation is not defined by the tool or the method. Because it comes from within and without us. We build and make things based on our experiences, our skills, and our relationship with God and with friends and family. It’s up to us to decide what tools and means best help us to capture and materialize what we want to make.

It would be a disservice to yourself, not to read the entire interview.
