Though we talked about the iPad being a great device for consumption in our live Q&A yesterday, we also talked about how it could be great for presentations.

Recognizing the iPad's potential in the business arena, Citrix has released versions of its GoToMeeting (opens in new tab) and Receiver (opens in new tab) applications specifically for the Apple tablet.

Most of you have probably heard of Citrix Receiver, an application that gives users to access their virtualized Windows applications (via XenApp or XenDesktop) through their iPad or iPhone.

The company also released a GoToMeeting app for the iPad. GoToMeeting is a teleconferencing tool that allows users share desktops, presentations, spreadsheets and slideshows.

Do you think there's a place for the iPad as a conferencing tool? Let us know in the comments below!

    Just stop it already...

    If you want to talk about non-hardware news, talk about porn.

    Macs are not computers, they are toys.
