iPad 2

What a load of rubbish. It's married with telling people what they want and need and then marketing it very successfully. I'd have far more respect for the company if they just said it like it is. They have long since surpassed Microsoft's darkest ambitions for completely controlling what their users do (and can do) with their products.

As it stands, if apple were smote from the face of the Earth tomorrow by a vengeful God, I'd not shed a single tear :lol:

The only part of thios post I cant agree on is in regards to shedding a tear. I'd shed many such would be my delight.

Here is another reason the iPad is a unique device for musicians. You can now control your mixer from the iPad. Set up a wireless connection to it and it becomes the control surface for the mixer.

Each musician on stage can have direct access to their own mix (not necessarily a good idea) as well as being able to walk to the back of the venue, hear the mix and adjust it there and then via the ipad.

Ive seen you trying to tout the iPad as a good tool for musicians a bit in this thread, but personally I just dont get it. In over 20 years of being a musician, Ive never once thought to myself "damn, I wish there was yet another unnecessary device involved here". Guitar <->rack<->mixer<->amps kinda covers it all. To insert another device adds absolutely nothing.

And of course every guitarist knows what they are doing! How stupid of me to think otherwise!

Q. How many guitarists does it take to change a light globe ?
A. Two. One to change he light globe and the other to say he could have done it better

Well, I wouldn't let a guitarist near anything technical... That's why you have synth guys in a band

I'd have to say an effects rack can be pretty darn technical. Sure, it may not have a shiney interface, but it has lots of buttons. I like buttons
