Is this gimmicky or just <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/03/03/new-hyundai-commercial-advertises-ipad-as-the-cars-owner-manual/">another creative use</a> of the iPad? </p> <p><span id="more-15747"></span> <img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ipad-menu-china.jpg" alt="iPad restaurant menu" title="ipad-menu-china" width="500" height="332" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15749" /></p> <p>Other than the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/category/fun/">fun</a> gadget factor, seeing a picture of the food you’re about to order is a nice idea because we’ve all ordered something that sounded a lot better in the description than what arrived on the plate. These kind of visual menus might be extra appealing to those who don’t speak or read the native language too. </p> <p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/chinese-ipad-restaurant-menu.jpg" alt="iPad restaurant menus in China" title="chinese-ipad-restaurant-menu" width="359" height="500" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15750" /></p> <p><a href="http://micgadget.com/12406/ipad-menu-gets-hot-in-china/">MicGadget</a> reports that iPad menus have allowed the restaurants to reduce their staff numbers and they plan to have one iPad per table in the near future. It’s probably not cost effective, yet at least, but it sure looks fancy. Maybe this is the start of a trend in higher end restaurants?</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/eyHZLsSbCMRLKjkYHWvfVE6cDiw/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/eyHZLsSbCMRLKjkYHWvfVE6cDiw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/eyHZLsSbCMRLKjkYHWvfVE6cDiw/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/eyHZLsSbCMRLKjkYHWvfVE6cDiw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=PqOY4KG91aU:gfUNhm1wRAg:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=PqOY4KG91aU:gfUNhm1wRAg:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=PqOY4KG91aU:gfUNhm1wRAg:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=PqOY4KG91aU:gfUNhm1wRAg:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=PqOY4KG91aU:gfUNhm1wRAg:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=PqOY4KG91aU:gfUNhm1wRAg:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=PqOY4KG91aU:gfUNhm1wRAg:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/PqOY4KG91aU" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
