Yes, we can nitpick the lack of certain features, the smaller form factor, and smaller pads.

But by and large, this shit looks like a home run to me. It strikes a fine balance of standalone and computer based production ethos.

I've seen a few videos already, trashing it for being a cut down Live, but it looks much more like a significantly souped up Touch.

I'm betting this turns out to be a killer app, because it nicely bridges that gap between top of the entry level and lower tier of higher end gear.
