WOW are the apple fanboys so scared of being insulted?? first of all this is a good idea since you get a better physical interface than the touchscreen (where you cant feel where the keys are) and also we know Jobs has a plan to make the iphone/ ipad ideal for artist and producers!! next thing is going to be a paint board for the ipad. oooh and i forgot... im really not an apple guy!!
... i'm still don't understand why graphic designers or "starving artists" stick to a brand that is heavily proprietary, costly, and limited in its use and technology i mean the apple compatible microphone is $70. Wouldn't graphic designers want better graphic cards? Wouldn't photographers want better monitors? Wouldn't you want to have a 1000 various types of equipment and 3rd party software galore? Can some Apple lover explain that to me? I'm being open minded and not talking smack, just throwing in some common sense.
