Apple Inc. announced a new product dubbed the iPad. This is a tablet-design mobile computer with a 9.7" screen, just 13.4 mm thick and as light as 680 grams. Starting at a price of $499 or €499, the iPad runs the iPhone OS on a 1 GHz processor and includes up to 64 GB of storage memory. It features Internet and multimedia oriented software onboard, and can run almost any app available at Apple's AppStore, including the usual music suspects such as BeatMaker or Xewton Music Stdudio. We expect, however, that a new wave of software will arrive soon, making good use of that big screen and faster processor. This will turn the iPad into a more easy-to-use and inspiring tool for music producers who long for a more focussed workflow - us included.
