While many of these apps are fun and increasingly powerful, I (sadly) don't think we've crossed the threshold where they are essential just yet.
I think there may well be a point in the future where replacing an entire studio / live rig with iOS may come to reality (and I'd love to see it) but this is still a long way off. The platform is imperfect and the apps out there reflect this - they're fun but even the best are still not feature complete or stable enough to be dependable in a professional context

Well, I was there in 1996 when they were saying the same about plugins -- and in 7-8 years tons of records where produced inside a laptop and a DAW (speaking for electronic music of course, but also anything indie that was made with a 4 to sixteen track previously).
