Future iPad in Movie Avatar?

So, is that supposed to be a future generation iPad in the Movie Avatar? I’ve got the movie Avatar and fall asleep to it practically every night (don’t ask me why I’ve fallen into this habit).

And each night when I see the movie, I notice Sigourney Weaver putting Jake Sully into the capsule for his first outing as an Avatar. Afterwards Weaver’s cohort Dr. Patel says, “That’s a gorgeous brain. Nice activity,” as he is viewing what could be an X generation Apple iPad.

Of course by the time the movie is supposed to take place in 2154 all computers could be touchscreen transparent like this one showing in-depth brain activity. This got me to thinking though if future iPads will evolve for different professions such as a specialty model for the medical field, particularly those who do future brain scans and what we today will call X-rays, CAT scans, PET scans and MRIs?

And if this were the case wouldn’t be ironic if this kind of medical iPad was created, but not in time to save Steve Jobs’ life? Then again, this kind of future medical technology would, I think save thousands if not millions of other people’s lives.

The future iPad, (that is near future), is sure to amaze and thrill us. But what if the power of the IBM Watson and the iPad joined forces? This is a scenario that I hope I stay alive long enough to see.

Or perhaps I could even build and app for that. In fact, it would be a rap app for that. Yo yo dog. Yo yo cat. Yo Yo Ma. Well, enough of that crap. 🙁
