This may be quite nice as a BT controller and a bigger platform for iSyn. I'll bet they can get more than the two synth and drum machine running with the 1 gHz processor. <br /><br />I was really hoping for a keyboardless/CD driveless portable to replace my MacBook Pro, but the iPad isn't aimed at that market. What it will do is allow Apple to fine-tune the touch interface and explore possibilities to eventually give a touch interface to the pro machines. Once things are right, they'll move into that market. At this time, it would be a huge gamble in a market they are doing quite well. Give it time. They days of touch interface Logic and Final Cut Pro is coming.fracturedhttp://www.black-chamber.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4040112777996013749.post-69924452582169966632010-01-28T06:12:03.274-08:002010-01-28T06:12:03.274-08:00Time will tell.

One thing is certain, in about a year there will be an iPad 2 with more features and less cost. the early adopters will pay the R&D on the next generation of product.<br /><br />I think it has great promise as an idea sketchpad and/or alternate controller. Bashing it for not being a full blown laptop missies the point. It isn't a laptop. However, from what I am seeing I fully expect the next generation MacBooks will become MacPads and everything will be done with a touch screen and a keyboard dock.<br /><br />i just wish there was a cutdown version of Logic that could run on this thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4040112777996013749.post-74165332625347709202010-01-28T03:46:21.084-08:002010-01-28T03:46:21.084-08:00Not sure what to make of this device ...difficult ...Not sure what to make of this device ...difficult to say to which market Apple wss aiming. Certainly on face value, it's connectivity and expansion options look a little limited. Still, perhaps some interesting creative possibilities exist.

If you change your environment, you will change your style.
