Its fun to see people utilizing the touchscreen of the ipad.. But do they realise how much power theyget in their hands when they add a 24" touchscreen to their PC?

I think most of us certainly appreciate the power a full blown studio PC can deliver,
but just how many of us really need or will even use all that power, or even 1/2 of the complicated and often esoteric features?

The big appeal of the iPad, as well as the new Korg mini-Arranger is their small, lightweight portability, giving musicians the ability to create music just about any where on the go.
Though I'm sure this portable tech will continue to evolve, I feel the level of power already packed into portable devices like these is already more than adequate to satisfy people
that desire a 'small as possible' portable music studio setup.

Microarranger,Microstation in combination with alesis Iodock and IPad would make for a perfect micro solution... at not even half the cost of a PA3X or T4...
