If all you ever do is consume digital media, yes the iPad could replace your PC. But PCs are also widley used to produce content, which is something the iPad can't do at all. Where does Apple think all the stuff they sell on iTunes, the AppStore, iBooks comes from? It's not being made on the iPad, thats for sure.
- Skroob 16y agoiPads absolutely can produce content. The new GarageBand and iMovie apps are perfect examples of just how much potential the iPad has for creation.
- zyb09 16y agoPotential sure, but the new GarageBand etc. are still just toys, even if Steve claims otherwise. No body is gonna use GarageBand or iMovies to produce something, that gets sold on iTunes.
- jakewalker 16y agoFalse. See, e.g. http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/27/gorillaz-ipad-album-now-available-as-are-the-apps-used-to-make/ http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/27/gorillaz-ipad-album-now-a...
- Skroob 16y agoI think you're wrong about that, but we'll have to wait to find out. So how about Brushes, which was used to make two New Yorker covers?

- recoiledsnake 16y agoAnd this was made in MS Paint --> http://diamonster.deviantart.com/art/powerdraw-17908194?fullview=1 http://diamonster.deviantart.com/art/powerdraw-17908194?full... Should people ditch photoshop now? Just because there a few examples doesn't make it a suitable tool for most people.
- Skroob 16y agoWho said anything was a replacement for anything? I'm giving examples of content creation on the iPad to someone who said it couldn't do content creation "at all". It doesn't mean everybody should switch to it completely for everything, that's ridiculous.
- adsr 16y agoAutodesk SketchBook is as well. The user interface in this application is so well done.
