&lt;p&gt;The other day I was speaking to a managing director who works for a middle-market investment bank in San Francisco. After we talked about Apple&#39;s iCloud launch, the topic turned to the iPad and to the MD&#39;s business (tech M&amp;amp;A) and he told me he didn&#39;t think it was too far off that instead of a stack of pitch books, bankers would be bringing a stack of iPads to their meetings -- with their presentations already loaded, of course.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 4px 10px; float: left;&quot; title=&quot;ipad colbert&quot; src=&quot;http://www.ipadngravy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/ipad-2-stephen-colbert.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;ipad colbert&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;225&quot;&gt;He added that if the move from paper-based to iPad presentation catches on -- and he didn&#39;t see why it wouldn&#39;t -- it could result in some ridiculous gains for Apple, which has been feverishly trying to take a larger bite out the workplace market.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In any case, with offices increasingly going paperless, it seems likely that the iPad (or equivalent) will be the report medium of the future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even though the upfront costs aren&#39;t nothing ($499 each), over time they&#39;ll likely result in some decent savings versus paper reports. Not to mention some decent improvements in aesthetics and function.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That said, the costs to junior bankers could be astronomical. I certainly wouldn&#39;t want to be the first one who loses a pile of iPads in transit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Telegraph: Apple Hopes for Music Revoluition With iCloud Launch)&lt;/p&gt;
