The thing that I hung onto during this part of the Keynote was that I have never seen anyone use an iPad laying flat on a table like that. Not only ergonomically that's bad (for your neck) most of the time I'm using mine on one knee kicking back on the couch or in bed.
A lot of the gestures they showed for multitasking require multiple fingers on both hands, so you can't also be holding the device.
I suppose with it propped up via a kickstand it might work fine, it just looked awkward to me to be fully flat like that. I also don't draw on an iPad so maybe I'm just not the target user for that orientation.
- scrumper 9y agoI use my 12" iPad Pro flat a lot, mostly for taking notes in meetings using the pencil or drawing diagrams. It's no different to using pen and paper in terms of neck angles and the like. I do find myself using the pencil for stuff you'd do with a finger (clicking buttons etc.) as well as writing/drawing though, maybe in subconscious deference to those ergonomic issues.
