In reality, this can only backfire on you.
Even if it works, the prospect (or at least the group you're presenting to) sees you as an elitist rebel who had to throw the iPad in their face.
If there's even the slightest glitch, you'll be the apple-loving dolt that believes apple devices are more useful than they are
If there's big glitch, then your presentation goes off the rails.
I use my ipad to show presentations at trade shows, when I'm engaged one-on-one with somebody. In fact, doing this at a tradeshow where we gave away that very iPad made me fall in love with the device. It's the reason I bought me one - and my wife - and my dad.
For every other presentation situation, a laptop is a better choice.
This is precisely why I have my ipad. I do legal work in the captive insurance company space and it is a difficult concept to explain over lunch; especially to non-tax folks. I think being able to go through a couple slides easily, and show a couple examples, would be very helpful.
