Crap Puns aside, it’s clear that despite all the post-hype come down and knee-jerk anti-apple negativity, the IPAD has all the potential to be the default music making /music playing interface for the next 5/10 years.
It’s not about the closed nature of the system, or whether or not it will challenge the Kindle or save the newspaper industry. It’s about a cheap, accessible, universal touch interface.
Sure you should be worried if your livelihood depends on some no-name e-reader or tablet concept, but I think there also must be a hell of alot of music hardware manufacturers who are going to bankrupted by that kind of price point. (yeah, jazz mutant, I’m talking to you)
We are 6/9 months away from the next generation of adaptive drum machines, crazy pattern based synths and the last days of analog deejaying. It may seem like a bit of a let down this morning, but in a year’s time, when you are holding it in your hands, doing impossible things, you’ll wonder how you ever manged with out it.
