While discussing the iPad with the Associated Press on Tuesday, Disney
CEO Bob Iger hinted at his company's plans for the iPad, and called it
"a game changer."

He gave brief examples of ideas they're throwing around for the iPad,
including ESPN ScoreCenter and an interactive app for the ABC drama
"Lost." ESPN ScoreCenter is currently an iPhone and iPod touch app
that provides real-time scores and updates from the world of sports.
Iger says that the iPad gives them an opportunity to "...really make
the scores come to life." I think of the demo of Major League
Baseball's At Bat for the iPad and see how the ESPN app could do the
same -- provide gorgeous, full-screen video and stats plus chat and
trash talk with other fans during the game of your choice. Multiple
camera angles, locker room interviews, fantasy leagues, and so on,
could all enhance the fun of watching the big game.

Likewise, a Lost app could provide a similar experience. "When you
think about ABC," Iger said, "you think about a program like Lost and
not just being able to watch the program, but all the other things
that viewers like to do with that program." As a leisure content
device, the iPad could be a killer with the right apps in place.

Iger went on to say, "We think [the iPad] could be a game changer in
terms of enabling us to create essentially new forms of content." No,
it's not the same as watching your favorite show on that big, shiny HD
TV, but the iPad might further synthesize the TV and computer into a
single device.

This type of publicity doesn't help. Who is the biggest shareholder of
Disney Corp ?

Besides, while Iger may be very happy about Lost, most people are really
hoping for a real conclusion to the story, and by the time the iPaD gets
into people's hands, there will be far less talk about "Lost".

We all know that the last episode will be about Jack waking up from a
bad dream. :-)
