It appears that Apple is doing great with Ipad 2. There are even organized groups of people on line to buy and resell in China. This tells me the demand is extremely high in Asia. Since they are the real growth story it appears Ipad 2 will be a success. My brother just called to tell me he is going back to study App development. I think the creation of Apps are a huge niche for designers. While it might be difficult to have fortune 50 companies hire you eventually local businesses such as diners, clothing stores and more will need an app for their business. I smell a new cottage industry for those who have app design abilities.
