There is quite an active market for capacative styluses around. My wife has a couple. Quite handy for note taking on the ipad, when the finger is a big fat sausage in comparison.
It means they used the ipad and apps to create some basic beats while using real instruments to make up for the rest. I saw them do an interview on TV.
I think the anti-pen crowd (including the late Steven P Jobs) has missed the point entirely. And such is reasonable in light of the fact that Steve Jobs wasn't always right. Yes, he's right to prioritize touch. No question. But he was wrong to assume that no one would ever need or want to use a pen in those cases (however rare one wishes to argue they are) that one needs precision.
Honestly, I would love to have an iOS device that lets me focus on touch manipulation 95% of the time, but then gives me the power to use a pressure sensitive pen or paint brush to do some dazzling creative stuff. And giving me that power is by no means "bringing back the pen" or "doing something that has failed in the past." What failed in the past were devices that prioritized the pen over touch. What has made the iPad and iPhone a success was Steve Jobs insistence that TOUCH get the priority. The problem is that Steve was so adamant about touch that he refused to give thought to anyone ever wanting a pen for any reason. His sheer hatred for the pen/stylus drove him to insanity. His iOS devices are insanely great, but the insanity pertains to the parts he left out -- parts that we don't notice at first, but over time we start to desire.
The good news is that all Apple has to do to deflate Samsung's pride is just secretly add support for pressure sensitive pen devices. That would not be what Steve Jobs would have done. But then again, Steve Jobs himself wanted Apple execs to make their own decisions so Apple wouldn't become like Disney after their founder died, perpetually asking "what would Walt have done in this situation." Apple should gauge consumer demand for such features and then go for it. They have nothing to lose in doing so, and it's not like everyone will stop focusing on touch and go with a pen primarily. The pen has it's place, and it shouldn't be completely ignored.

Yawn!
Educate yourself.
Read my previous post again.
Phones are not for making music. I don't care who you are. They're toys when it comes to making music.
And what does an awful "music app" have to do with the superbowl ad again?
This message is hidden because MaroonMushroom is on your ignore list.
Making music, with iPhones.
Android phone's and tablets aren't for making music.
Hey, where did MaroonMushroom go?
Oh, yeah that's right, to the ignore list.

Nothing. Not directly anyway. This was about your previous post and clearly proves you have no idea:
Implying any of that BS can't be done on any Android
Implying this device has lag.

Artists like Bjork & Gorillas to name just two have produced all or most parts of their latest albums on iPads ...
link? It says nothing about the Note on their website. All I can see are the articles criticizing Apple for being greedy with iBooks
Here you go .. i found it in 30 seconds :

Bjork's album was not produced on an ipad, she's trying to sell apps that she developed for listening to her album.
Gorillaz album partly used an ipad.
You lie like this article.

Did those real instruments connected to the iPad?

Do you think the ipad has that kind of connectivity?

Sure. Heck! even Garage Band on iPad let you connect most of the instruments to record and it's a $5.00 app.

They didn't mention directly connecting to ipad when I saw them on TV.
