Yeah, cause that's what people want to do make Excel spreadsheets using pinch gestures while wearing a heavy headset.

PowerPoint is cool though.

If you want to write documents or perform some text heavy workflow, just use a wireless keyboard and mouse with the VP. There are a lot of really good ones on the market. Really, there are a lot of really good keyboards and mice on the market. Wish I had the time and money to try more of them.

Still a lot of questions of the level of complexity applications will have. Will be curious to see if Apple puts FCP and LP onto it. Wish Terminal and Xcode comes with it too.

Potential too for interesting virtual overlays when using the VP with a keyboard. I can imagine instantly toggling back and forth between the qwerty layout and a layout of specific app shortcuts for example.

Apple’s approach is really interesting.

I measure my BP once a day. If I get an average higher than normal reading, I tend to focus on physiological approaches to mitigating it (losing weight, reducing alcohol and sodium consumption, exercising etc).

What this approach does not tell me is hypertensive episodes during the day. This is where Apple’s approach - focusing on trends - could be very powerful. 

I take a BP measurement at the same point in time every day, which tells me what my blood pressure is at that point in time in the day. Trends over time are simply what the reading is at that point in time in the day (first thing in the morning before coffee - a point in time when I am very relaxed). It doesn’t tell me over the course of the day when I might be experiencing hypertension.

Constant measurement, as Apple’s approach, can tell you in what situations and circumstances in the day you might experience hypertension. You can then bring in methods in those situations to reduce the hypertension (such as breathing, hydrating, guided relaxation etc).

Although it may not give you a precisely accurate reading, it doesn’t really matter when trends are the focus.

Please - rewrite this article to reflect the Pencil situation. This is not the 3rd generation in the Apple Pencil line.

I was incredulous reading the specs of this new Pencil and considering buying three or four ‘old’ Pencils with wireless charging for future proofing, until I read the comments, which clarified things.

I couldn't disagree more. The pre-recorded demos are so much better. They cram in so much more information and we have no annoying woooooos and endless applause that tended to happen after every sentence during a live keynote...

Just give me some sort of offline mapping ability, with track routing, and I'll be happy.
