I do not agree with the idea of trying to make the tablet a "general computing" machine. I started using iOS nearly two years ago and the strength lies in the idea of dedicating the devices to a handful of tasks, not tinkling of them as multi-purpose units. Well, at least not yet. With more memory and processing power, yes, we'll see increased simultaneous application of effects, but I think that way madness lies — look at what has happened on the "computer" side. As memory capacity and processor speeds have increased, we have seen the bloat of the OS and the applications themselves, "just because it's there and we (software developers) can use it." The idea of efficient code keeps getting lost in the shuffle. I, for one, would LOVE to see Evoloop compiled for iOS, because I'm not interested in trying to run all my effects through a single device. That latter approach is what I see as the greatest weakness of the iPB10. In fact, it has been that approach and attitude in general that have kept me away from using a computer for live performance in the first place. It wasn't until I started using tools like bidule, which have relatively lighter processing demands, that I was even able to think about it. Using a Hackintosh netbook as a "dedicated" processor was finally possible (and affordable!). The same approach can be used with tablet devices (well, if Android will ever catch up!). Being able to use an iPod, which can be picked up relatively cheaply, or a used iPhone in this manner suddenly opens up some interesting possibilities. If Apple really does unleash a new and more powerful iPad, then the 2nd Gen iPads should come down in price, especially the used market, and with their multi-tasking capability life could get very interesting very quickly.
