Already here...
and....
But in fairness, I do think think that once they have the mouse and peripherals sorted out it's going to unleash a lot of power. The fact you can control other macs remotely is going to be huge for the production market.
It's weird, two years ago, my boss paid a ton for small touch screen controllers, with software built by one of his in house guys to do what the ipads are now doing, but I have to admit it looks like the ipdas are going to do it that much better.
, just think of a couple of mac pros, in logic 64 bit node mode controlled by a few ipads.

you don't need an ipad to make music, just an iphone:

you know what would be awesome would be like 3 ipads in legnth put together as one unit. Alas the pro audio industry is never a priority.

we have an interesting 22" touch screen at work at the moment. its connected to Windown though so its pretty boring. going out to some customers in two weeks.

There's this computer store in Zurich I went to last year. They have little to no stock in the customer area, just ing massive (60 inch?) touchscreens laid flat, for you to browse through their stock inventory. It was like using giant ipads. ing rad.

but imagine something that is as thick as an ipad but about 3 feet long.
palm, enough questions. I don't around with gimmick apps. It is a great controller, and it can control your computer, and it has handy time keeping apps.
That is all I use it for. It isn't a solution to use your laptop by remote. Maybe for a day if you are too lazy to get up but every day, not really that viable. Look for the price , it is better value than any other hardware for controlling your DAW. But nobody knows how long they will last. I mean they are cheap and I take care and the touchscreen tech is a few years old ( apples version anyways ) but I think you expect them to do everything.
One thing that is upsetting is that the IMS20 is better than the AU version.

Now you're going to have to elaborate:
Are you saying, that if I leave my imac on at home, then go to work, I can say, open up logic and produce my current track, as if I were at home?
If so, I'm going to have to do something I swore I never ever would: Pre order and apple product. And it's all your fault.

I was at a meeting 3 days ago and I was there with my boss, the director and the producer and he didn't like one cue and was just thinking about going with music and of course we didn't want that as we don't get paid and I had a feeling and it is usually a case of too many things going on which makes directors nervous so we could of said, ya we will work on it, I say , umm hold on 2 seconds. Load my project up. This thing has 2 macs with a total of 18 gigs of ram. Mute the one instrument. Done. And everyone was like, well that was ing cool.
The thing with laptops is that they get in the way of eye contact. It was so sweet just like unpacking the pads in their cases, the whole thing took 4 minutes to get working most of it was just loading ram from home.
Then we watched a south park episode I had on my hardrive.
And I'm pretty sure they all went out and bought an ipad after. I mean the iphone is just too small to really be handy. The ipad is the perfect size. Not too big so that you can engage people and not feel like your behind a computer but have a computer with you.

Lol, you have no idea the amount of times I've seen the "take one thing away" trick work, nearly to the point they think you're playing a completely different piece of music. Good form.
, I've just been reading that the ipad 2 is going to be launched in March, but due to serious competition upping the anti, the rumor goes it looks like they are bringing forward the launch of the ipad 3 (yes, three) to september 2011.
WTF am I supposed to do now?
