I didn't think Apple could make the iPad any better, but they did - and in a big way. The iPad 2's new processor makes everything snappy and the graphics respond better as well. I run a VNC application on my iPad and now I have a touchscreen control surface. If I add the iPad camera connection kit I can plug any midi controller I want into the unit and I have a portable workstation. From ADR to a portable foley recorder to a guitar synth modulator this is an amazing tool for anyone to own. To say that the iPad went beyond my expectations would be an understatement.
