I'll throw in my 2 bits worth on the iPad. I have an iPad 2 but really haven't used it for music much. I bought the mobile version of FL Studio, played with it awhile and thought it's OK, nothing special. Good as a toy for the grandkids if they are musically inclined. Good for ideas while away from the computer (which I'll never do) but so is a laptop.

Overall opinion of the iPad is ........ good for browsing the internet while in bed. I can't understand why anyone would want to record with an iPad when an Intel i7, Win 7, 2 28 inch monitors and 2 gb hard drive is available.

I don't understand the hoopla over this item. Even if you go mobile with it, a laptop is way more powerful (and cheaper, too). The apps are cheaper for it for sure. But to do serious recording on a 7 3/4 x 5 3/4 screen is not something I'm interested in. Maybe I'm getting old.
