The complete Photoshop is a pro-level app that makes a lot of sense on an iPad. Illustrator would also be great. Easy enough to write out a new PDF, but so hard to edit an existing PDF.

I can’t even fathom using photoshop without keyboard shortcuts... iPad keypads are not useful.

That's 100% marketing talk. There will be no native running "full" Photoshop. Maybe it will be cloud hosted like on chromebooks but porting the behemoth that photoshop is is not gonna happen.

I'm interested to see how the UI paradigms will transfer to a touch oriented device.

Mouse/trackpad cursor support, keyboard shortcuts, and robust filesystem access are required to intelligently use Photoshop. Does Adobe expect that iOS will eventually get there?

Didn’t they try this before? I had a copy of the Photoshop Touch(?) app previously. It was on iOS and Android. I think it was 32bit though, so no chance it still works on iOS.

I wonder if people will drop Photoshop from their list of deficiencies when the topic Tablet vs. PC comes up. Often, some people bring up the lack of productivity tools like PS, X_Cad, writing and building code etc.

Porting photoshop to iOS/ARM could also in part be motivated by a known or perceived Apple transition from Intel to their own ARM chips.
