And so it begins... the once innovative company is now playing catch up, losing a little bit of its sex appeal as it copies the bland competition.
And so it continues, I point out that this has been said of every Apple announcement since Jobs' return.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
"How are we going to communicate with this? We don't want to carry around a mouse, so what are we going to do? Oh, a stylus, right? We're going to use a stylus? No. Who wants a stylus? You have to get them, put them away, you lose them, yuck. So let's not use a stylus. We're going to use the best pointing device in the world; a pointing device that we're all born with - we're born with ten of them. We're going to use…
I didn't know apple invented multi-touch.
The important part of the quote in this context is that Jobs was obviously referring to the stylus being the primary input device for the iPhone being unacceptable.

Probably the same. Apple[1] has done a lot of work on this the last few years and IBM[2] is making huge bets on iOS. [1] http://www.apple.com/ipad/business/it/management.html [2] http://www.ibm.com/mobilefirst/us/en/mobilefirst-for-ios/
Ok. Easier to build for? In a business environment that's running all Windows servers and workstations? I don't know any small or medium sized businesses that employ iOS devs in-house... You need Macs to build iOS software. Meanwhile, you can find Visual Studio already being employed in most business IT shops to build custom desktop and web software. I can't remember the last time I saw a job ad for an iOS developer…
It is interesting comparing Microsoft and Apple's convertible tablet strategy. Microsoft's devices use the full OS and are basically laptops first and tablets second while Apple is doing the opposite. If this is truly designed to be "Pro" as in enterprise , I think Microsoft's strategy is going to lead to more productive and therefore better enterprise devices. EDIT: And after the price is revealed the scales tip a l…
Surface Pro 3 has a fan, this doesn't. That's a big difference that I would pay a bit more for (I actually went with a surface 3 just for this reason). The screen is also higher res, I'm guessing the unit is lighter also. Looks like it might be time for a surface pro 4 though, so let's see.

Apple got it right because they were the first to charge 99 bucks for it.

I wouldn't imagine a device like that to literally goes out without any decent content creation thought in mind. I'm sick of using my medium (now) screen iPad as a comment maker. I want to use it for development. I want my iPad to run WebStorm , SublimeText, GitHub. I want a jailbreak iOS that is capable of running a desktop Apps on that new desktop-performance iPad. This should've been the big news about the new big…
It's kind of like saying "man, they ought to sharpen these spoons up, I can't cut my food with them at all!" A little bit, anyway.
At any rate they're starting down this road so your use case won't be so rare or unaccommodated soon.
The announcements today just make me hang my head in chagrin. I love Apple products. Both my wife and I only use Macbooks, we have multiple iPads, iPods, and a second generation Apple TV. I look at this iPad Pro though and I see a totally useless device. For a device at that size, weight, and cost you would be better served buying an Macbook Air. If you want a tablet form factor then you would be better served buying…
I know a lot of you will think this is ridiculous but I want one to read digital comics with. I find the 9.7" iPad screen too small for this but the iPad Pro might work.
surface pro 3 has been out for over a year. also has more storage capacity for all those comics you want to read.

I don't want it unless it has an exposed CLI without jail breaking.
