PadNotes shows you what is possible with the iPad

Nice. Give lots of indication how productivity apps might work (e.g. finger controls, file storage, copy and paste, export (though not import) and shows some great applications of the tools - loved forms and annotations especially.

I'm going to have nightmares about random expanding circle blips

I think someone should release a stylus that will work on capacitive touch-screens. Cuz I can imagine it being pretty hard writing legibly with your fingertips.

Writing notes or drawing charts with your fingertip is just dumm. That's where the iPad fails.

To be honest, I think the functionality looks good but the interface is pretty lacking. This doesn't have the fit and finish that an iPad app deserves and I think another developer with better design (both graphic and in terms of interface layout) will eat their lunch. A number of things really stand out to me. Developers, if you're reading this, I mean no disrespect and I'm sorry it sounds harsh. I want this to be a good product because I'd definitely use it, it's just at a point right now where I think it wouldn't be that pleasant.- The icon spacing at the top is cramped and weird. Developers, look at the spacing around apple icons. Learn from this.- The drop down of other icons seems to just be floating there and I have no idea what any of those icons do. It needs to be organized better.- It seems to be using a non-standard button look with the cancel and save. Why are you using some random stupid looking font on the buttons?Stay consistent. Stay classy.- The colour pop-down should be in the style of pop-over that Apple demonstrated in all their apps. Use of a standard interface element looks better and the arrow it uses gives a visual cue to where it's from.- What are they THINKING with that design where it says PDF ebook and PadNotes at the top of the screen with the black background. Guys this looks terrible. Sorry to be harsh to the developers and designers but that is just awful. Pretty much everyone that is on that page in visual terms looks ridiculously amateurish and just bad. Change it all.- Then check out the non-standard modal popover that pops over another non-standard pop-over. Each of those (especially the first) have randomly placed buttons and it looks confusing and again, just bad.Sorry to the developers and the designers for being so harsh here, but you really have to hear it. There are a bunch of companies out there now that make incredibly well designed iPhone apps and will be ready to fill any niche out there with an impeccably designed product. Try and match the standard that Apple and other highlighted third party developers are setting for the platform. Again, I'm sorry to be harsh, but this isn't even close to good enough.I understand that this may be a very early beta demo and if that's the case I give you more leeway, however, you should put some sort of disclaimer to that effect in the video. Even still, the design elements and some fundamental things are severely lacking. From the end though it sounds like you're going to launch soon, probably with this interface. You should hold back and release something excellent instead of rushing it to market.P.S. The title screens, editing and lack of direction in this video were also kind of weak and didn't present this as a professional product. Combined with a weak logo from 10 years ago or so this just doesn't scream quality.

 Isn't this a non disclosure violation?
