Bob Iger wasn’t on stage for the iPad launch last month, but the Disney CEO just gave a demo spiel Steve Jobs, the company’s largest shareholder, would applaud. Volunteering and replying to analyst questions about how Disney plans to use the new Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) tablet, Iger reeled off a series of iPad uses that are either likely or already in progress: a companion to ABC’s Lost, an ABC News app, a digital books app for Disney, an enhanced version of the popular ESPN Sports Center app, and apps for Marvel (NYSE: DIS).

Some might be adapted for iPad, some created. Iger said the iPad platform will “enable us to really start distributing product that is different than the product you typically see.” For instance, Disney was working on a version of its still-nascent Disney Digital Books for iTunes and iTouch. “Suddenly this device comes along,” offering an “even more robust platform” for possibilities like read-a-longs, simple animation, music come to life. More to come.
