Ipads will also need to add extra monitor support as a buying a macbrook pro and some monitors is worth the extra cost versus developing on the small screen real estate of an ipad.
In addition, IOS app development is only supported on mac which will not be trivial to port to IOS. As @simonh said, touch and mouse UX are quite different and I don't see them being combined optimally in any near future.
- mrep 10y agoIdea extension: VR to enable users to maximize visual field for productivity, Magic leap type interaction which could bridge the gap between touch and mouse (pointing/"touching" at objects in a users visual field would require less effort than actually trying to tap the screens of multiple monitors) might be that synergy that will be able to bridge those gaps * . * keyboards are still probably going to be used for a long time though.
