Some great things from Ben Brooks in here. I especially liked this part when he talked about picking up your iPad:
This took some training, but now I am very accustomed to reading with my iPad in my hands, portrait orientation, and my feet kicked up on my desk. At first this didn’t feel like I was taking my work seriously, but then I realized just how much more attention I was paying to the document at hand.
I’m going to have to think about this a bit more, or at least how I use it, but I think he’s right.
I’d love to read one of these articles written about someone who is not a journalist or writer. I get the tools are there; if you write for a living. What about photographers, developers, artists, etc.
I love the iPad but I agree. For people who use single focused apps for long periods of time the iPad Pro can work. Writers who live inside Ulysses for example. When you have to switch apps frequently then the problems occur.
At the other end of the spectrum developers would be years away from using it, if ever.
There is always a tool that is right for whatever job you are doing. If the iPad / iPad Pro is not right for the job then you have other choices. The iPad is 6 years old, i am sure Apple will address those markets in time. Seems like the photography market has been addressed for the most part. Artists too — have you seen iPad art yet?
There is nothing better than having your feet up on a desk, iPad in portrait mode in your hands.
I admit the look is bad. But it feels oh so good.
