Apple might have sold 1m iPads in the US and expected to show bumper sales around the world when it launches at the end of the month everywhere else, but many people still can’t grasp why or what you would want to use one for. 

In steps the latest idea – a Point of Sale app that will let the waiter at your favourite restaurant take your order via an iPad and have it beamed back to the bar or the kitchen so they can start cooking. 

The system – similar to how Wagamama waiters already take orders, but with older PDA style devices with a stylus – could presumably evolve into letting the customers see pictures of the dishes they are ordering.
