I read conflicting articles on devs they other day
The good, say its great, and they will dev for it, the bad say their high priced software that Windows and Mac users are happy to pay for, will expect the iOS version to be cheap as chips. Also, there are no demo or trials allowed, so people wont pay for higher priced software unless they can test it first. Fair points. These are Apple rules
Re the Pro, what I find in the geek world, and many anti Apple ones have iPads, is that while we say we want this and that, we accept it. So we use it solely as a read/watch/play device. We wont seek out the workarounds to make it more usable, thats effort wasting, example being
that way to download torrents. Too clumsy, easier to use the PC/Mac. I doubt many non geek types would do that as well. Me, I use it for what it does well, and Mac for what it can't do or can't do well, so Im happy. But I don't like TC saying why get a PC, etc.
Sales, I dunno. Ive never seen a thread on any product that is about returning it, two are on MR. The posts aren't bitchy or anti, those that are returning find it too big, thats the most common reason. Portability dropped, and now thats very close to a MB 12 or MBA, may as well take that.
Id like one myself, same reason as my 6 Plus. Its too big, but a nicer media experience
Yes, I agree the devs will probably make it more than just a bigger Air 2

Actually Tony, you have that round the wrong way.
Most can deal with the subset, some like the geeks on this mailing list, can't.
And before anyone takes it as a personal insult, that is using geeks in the nicest way.
The people n these mailing lists are far from the majority. They try to find ways to get the most out of the hardware they have.
99% of users do not. Thats why iPads sell in such large numbers.
The iPad Pro will be another success, because for 99% of users, it will do everything they want.
But like the iPad when it first came out, it is going to take time for developers to take advantage of the facilities and screen real estate.
Even Apple hasn't figured it out yet. You get the same number of icons as on an iPad Air..

Its made to consume, so please no one tell me its made to produce as TC said. You can, which is your nicheThats why few would ditch the Mac for an iPad. Its a subset, a very nice subset, but thats what it is. Yes, some who browse and email can do very well with the subset, but most can'tAnd if Apple brought out an OSX iPad next year, everyone here would rave over it, but now they don't, exactly like the larger iPhone. Thats real world

If Apple don't deal with that, they are, I think, bound to experience substantial customer leakage over time.I looked at the Surface solution in the Microsoft store the other night. Windows is not elegant and smooth like iOS, but it's far more flexible. In fact, you could say it "just works".I recently downloaded some files to "Notes" on my iPad as did not have WiFi nor my password for Dropbox.They are, for the most part, zipped files. How can I get them from "Notes" to my PC laptop? Thanks in advance. Rosalyn
