#12Pencil. Jobs is spinning in his grave.

Re: Apple Unveils the iPad Pro
#13I don't want it unless it has an exposed CLI without jail breaking.
Right?
Why is this so difficult.

#14They announced a Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2"

#15It looks like it would be really awesome to have, but I have a feeling that it's going to be much more expensive than the current iPads. If that's the case, it almost makes more sense to buy a Surface Pro 3.
If you're going to be using the web and Microsoft apps exclusively, it does, sure.
If by "Microsoft apps" you mean any program compiled for Windows in addition to any of those that can run on an OS supported by VirtualBox.
So the iPad can run iOS apps while the Surface can run virtually anything except iOS apps.
They're not really comparable platforms.

I'm hoping this lights a fire for a surface pro 4 announcement.
What's wrong with using non-microsoft apps on windows?
Re: Apple Unveils the iPad Pro
#17It is in direct competition to the 'Surface Pro'.
Except it runs iOS and not a full desktop operating system. Why would a "pro" user choose this over a surface pro/MBP/ubuntu certified system?

While I do agree Jobs was saying that no one wants to use a stylus to use their devices, you have to admit this stylus is a pretty good idea. With the additional sensors you can actually do things you can't do with traditional styluses and you're not forced to use it with your device, it's just an add-on.

It's officially running iOS and not mainline OS-X-for-tablets, so I think it's safe to say that's out of the question.

Later edit. It's iOS for fuck sake. It's ridiculous to compare iOS with full Windows. A keyboard is not that useful in a TOUCH based OS.
