iPad's price point will make it dominant. not too many will shell out a couple of grand for a control screen when the iPad can work just as well.

I think there will always be room for high-end products that are unencumbered by DRM and consumer tools like iTunes. Can you imagine a gig where things go wrong and you need to pull out iTunes to restore you latest iPad/iPod Touch backup? No thanks!

Entertainment devices are all fine and well, but I prefer to keep my pro gear *pro*. Eat that, Apple-the-phone-company (as opposed to Apple the company that once cared about making really cool pro products).

The bottom line is, the iPad is here and it changes the game entirely whether anyone likes it or not.

If I could buy Mu for the iPad as an app instead of slapping down 2 grand for a specialised piece of hardware I would go for the app every time.

A smart business plan for them now would be to port the app to the iPad, where there are significantly more potential customers for them to snap up. Also, its only a matter of time before someone else writes a comparable iPad app that takes their market share if they don't go for it.

I think JazzMutantshould start porting it's software on the iPad and revisit it's business model from expensive hardware to software for ipad, to then actually start funding new pro interfaces. otherwise it'll go bust or remain minute. it needs to generate resources to grow and market ideas, the ipad is it's opportunity or killer...

The bottom line is, the ipad is nothing more than a giant ipod touch, no usb, no adobe flash, loaded with DRM, only apps approved by apple fascist policies - whether anyone likes it or not
