The keynote featured an iPad Pro hooked up via USB-C to an external monitor, which initially seemed pretty awesome to me, then I sat down and thought about it for a bit, and realized it wouldn't work.
Fundamentally the iPad is still a touch-screen based device, so to input data (apart from typing on an external keyboard) you still need to look at the screen to know when / where to touch. An external monitor can't support this, so what is the point? A larger screen for media consumption, but apart from that?
Or am I missing something and this is the next killer feature?!?
