"Who wants a stylus? You have to get 'em, put 'em away, you lose 'em. Yuck! Nobody wants a stylus. So let's not use a stylus." -Steve Jobs
These Apple keynotes can be pretty funny.
It 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.
Kind of disappointing.

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.
The apple distortion field is running at maximum.
It is in direct competition to the 'Surface Pro'.
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.
- Why do you have multitasking in quotes?
You're going to need to work a bit more on your comments here, you can't just expect a full Anti-Apple thread to do well with zero sources or information.
> Later edit.
You completely re-write your comment and downvote me? Fantastic.
What about Pencil from 53? http://www.fiftythree.com/pencil Edit: To clarify, seems like they shouldn't (maybe couldn't, but I don't see a TM on the 53 site) call it Pencil since there is already a device made specifically for iPad called Pencil.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Also the press is absolutely going to hammer Apple for copying the Surface Pro (even down to the name.)
EDIT:
Ended up a bit high for the base price, $800. But add on any additional storage/LTE capability and you're at $1k. So I was damn close.

For drawing on a screen of any size, especially a 12" one, the stylus makes plenty of sense.
