For personal applications, I can't think of a better prompter than this one:

It's small and at around $400.00 you can't miss with the specs, especially the all-aluminum rails.
On the other hand, iPad / iPod/phone software isn't quite "there" yet for professional use. As you can see, there's a countdown. Imagine sitting there with the talent as you have to run up to the camera (!) and touch the screen to reset it, and no, you can't scroll at their rate.
Until a better iPad software solution emerges, if this is used in conjunction with a small flat VGA I 'd get it in a heartbeat, but iPad sizes are also small. You just can't use them beyond about 7 feet, I'd say, effectively.
However, the build quality on this device is enormous, and if they make a bigger setup at around $500.00 they could probably own the market.
