Today, I received a late door prize from my visit to Interop New York last month. A box arrived containing a congratulatory letter and an Apple iPad! Thanks, Network Hardware Resale, the “world’s largest provider of used Cisco equipment.”

Can the iPad be a useful VoIP client? I have not been following development of the iPad at all, and last I remember it had no multitasking capabilities (coming soon?) so it seems clumsy as an IP phone. And large. If anyone uses a SIP client on the iPad, leave a comment and let me know what to get from the iTunes store.

UPDATE: The iPad won’t be geeked-out with SIP clients until my wife gets first pass at it, to see if it can mostly replace her 2004-vintage laptop. I have pretty high hopes for it in that.
