I wouldn't underestimate the iPad's potential as a creative platform, either. It's not going to challenge a Mac Pro any time soon, but there's no particular reason it couldn't be an 80% solution. It's no accident that Omni Group are porting all thei…

If so, they'll be rolling out USB-to-LP and USB-to-FW adapters alongside, at least until LP is adopted widely enough to catch the attention of peripheral and accessory makers. Certainly, Apple has shown no hesitation in inflicting adapters on its…

They were also late adopting USB 1.0. I remember articles mourning the eventual death by neglect of a pretty, next-generation standard (USB) right about the time the iMac appeared. That's why the iMac's dedication to USB worked: There was already…

Quote: Originally Posted by Ireland It may have "books" on it, if you want to call it them that, but it's in NO WAY an e-reader. A genuine e-reader requires one of two things: Real paper or e-ink. End of discussion, seriously. No amount of market…
