There's a Steve Jobs quote on the subject somewhere.

Talking about phones and it being necessary to sue the phone.

Not as an optional part of a device.

But don't let it ruin the phone of the quote.

A stylus was never needed to use any phone. I used a Treo, I know. For a lot of things, a stylus just works better than fingerpainting.

I'm not complaining, I'm glad they've finally seen the light. Maybe one day they'll give us back the keyboard.

Also had several Palm phones for work, stylus was definitely needed.

"Where was the peace when we were getting shot? Where's the peace when we were getting laid out?
Where is the peace when we are in the back of ambulances? Where is the peace then?
They don't want to call for peace then.

if you see a stylus, they blew it."

I took it as a diss on the Windows Mobile tablets that required you to use a stylus. (And not as optional integral.)

The "Apple Pencil" does not come with any Apple device.

Considering Apple sold third party stylus like: MouthStick Stylus- Touchscreen Interaction for those with Manual Disabilities since it's launch I didn't take it that way.

So if Jobs decreed "Stylus are NEVER ACCEPTABLE FOR ANY USE" then Apple blew it years ago.

If he meant that it should not be the primary device to interact with the device.

even though i am like...
damnnnnnnnn regarding the pricing
it is still less than the 13 inch cintiq hd touch

i wasn't really in the market for this but i must admit my interest is piqued

But at that size, i'd probably go with the Syrface or the new Lenovo Miix so i could have full Windows and thus Photoshop.

And the stylus is probably mostly for designers, doctors, architects, artists etc

I noticed they are really pushing to get into hospitals more with those watches and this iPad...having them work together more. Smart

My Ipad 2 is getting long in the tooth, but I loath jumping up and getting the current model knowing that in a year or less it's probably going to be a big leap in that model considering the new iphones have that tougher/tactile display and I believe better processor(not sure on this point)

Ipad Pro; lets see if power users take to it. It could be huge, or it could fizzle out.

Apple TV still finds a way to suck.

The biggest bomb they did was that they are subsidizing unlocked phones. Considering Verizon/AT$T are currently abusing the fuck out of their customers, along with dropping subsidized phones...it's going to be interesting to see what happens now since an Apple subsidy and lets say Boost mobile account gets you a brand new iphone every year for presumably cheaper then what you would get with ATT or Verizon.

I'm glad I copped a macbook air during best buy's sale this past weekend. To me it's better at that price point than that iPad pro. This 13 inch joint is just right and light and portable as hell.

everything else im good on

no way im paying that much for a tech that is past its prime, imo

reading online articles
reading books
watching youtube
reference tool on the couch while watching tv/sports
offline study aid away from wifi (pdfs on iannotate)


i get them for free though. i hope i get this refresh cause it looks bigger and the 2 app thing might be useful
i had a fire and currently have a nexus 7 but it collects dust. i like the size/form factor of the ipad(s)

>reading online articles

to call them handy is an understatement. i REALLY hate touchscreen keyboards on tablets, tho.

& most often i find that anything i'd use a tablet for, i'd much rather grab my phone for.

i DO like the ipad for reading but i just find iOS restrictive. if they EVER drop another nexus tablet, i'm all over that shit

i like that Siri integration and touch/swipe-able remote, and finally a way to link to the app store.

Too tired to skim. Do you have to replace the box, or just cop the remote?

I think you'll have to buy the new next generation Apple TV.

If it's more than $200 though I'll wait for a price drop.

I love my Apple TV, but I stay losing that damn remote.

It looks a little bigger. So you have space to swipe. Yes the current one is sleek and pretty but too easy to lose. Good to have the Apple Rmote app on your iPhone in case it happens.

If I try to use the silver remote while the computer is on, Kodi opens, and iTunes starts.

same shit every year...

yet i watch :(

what do you expect?

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

Never knew..
Definitely explains it..lol

and are usually big fans of the apple setup.

so, of course there's clapping and cheering and shit. they're being presented to by the people who pay their bills

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

but nobody's talking about that fact though....
funny.


"Get ready..for your blessing..."

the surface RT is useless and never had any apps and isn't getting Windows 10.

chill.

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

so to compare it to Surface Pro isn't an accurate comparison.
You're still stuck with essentially robust phone apps, not full apps.
Although iOS's app catalog is likely suitable for most people.

"Get ready..for your blessing..."

because one actually has an ecosystem and a future.

the desktop/mobile thing is blah. nobody thinks the iPad is actually a PC, and it doesn't matter that much

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

a full fledged PC that can indeed be and IS what the iPad PRO is aspiring to be. I can run full Autodesk Revit on a Surface Pro. The future of compact computing has been here for 3 years now with the Surface Pro....but MS has done a shitty job showcasing that and getting that point across to people.

MS needs to do a better job conveying exactly what the Surface Pro is. Typical MS fumbling the play is what it is. Good to see the companies collaborating again....but MS really keeps pissing me off by sealing the fate of every good tech product they bring to market. Zune comes to mind of course....




"Get ready..for your blessing..."

that windows 8 just wasn't good enough is microsoft's own problem

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

It's crazy that he even nailed the date.

plus, a 13-inch tablet is a huge difference from a 3.5 inch pone
