If it doesn't have any usb ports I aint interested. Need to attach external hard drives ,etc with lots of data.
For an iPhone? No one."Who want's a stylus?"
Sticking the pencil in the side of the ipad is just asking for it to be snapped off.
$250 for both accessories is highway robbery give the already hefty price for the iPad Pro. This pricing makes the product dead-on-arrival for the education market.
Been telling you guys for a while now: sell your Apple stock while it's still north of $100. We'll see $85 by this time next year. Book it. They're starting to do what Apple did after Jobs was fired: over-saturate their product lineup.
"Who want's a stylus?"
And what does a person do if the iPad Pro AND the Apple Pencil both need charging at the same time?
Nah, been available on Samsung S Pen (Note series) for a while. Impossible to say how it compares, of course, but this is hardly novel and Apple's solution seem more complicated (charge via the Lightning port, no built-in slot for it). Neat feature anyway though.I'm actually hoping that the pencil will be compatible with the next iPhone +. Kinda doubt it though.
The pencil is not only pressure sensitive, but also detects tilt and angle. Something I'm pretty sure we've only seen on the higher end dedicated Wacom tablets up until this point.
The keyboard seems to require that new connector, and the stylus requires a specialized display... So I don't think these will be able to work with the existing iPad designs. The mini was updated, but it looks like it's just a bump to put it roughly on-par with the Air 2I hope that they make these accessories available to the other iPads as well. How long has other iPad users wanted stylus support!? Plus, I would love a first party keyboard for my 9.7" iPad besides Apple's Mac keyboard.
Great opportunity for an aftermarket pocket-protector/charger!And what does a person do if the iPad Pro AND the Apple Pencil both need charging at the same time?
Microsoft will introduce a new Surface Pro "4" in October. Expect improvements across the board.I'm not sure I agree. The MS Surface keyboard retails for $129.99 and the keyboard is (based on reviews) likely inferior to the build for the Apple keyboard.
The pencil gets (reportedly) half an hour of use out of a 15 second charge. I think somehow a person will manageAnd what does a person do if the iPad Pro AND the Apple Pencil both need charging at the same time?

And charging the stylus is super awkward!
Does the iPad Pro do Palm rejection? Not a deal breaker if it doesn't as that doesn't really work too well but from the video it looked like it doesn't have it.
It might be App based. Some apps don't support it as they don't have any faith in it. It needs to really be built into the device to work properly I think.It seems like it does, or at least it should, since they said it can detect when you're using the Pencil vs. a finger- which means it knows when the pencil is writing (obviously considering the other sensor readings for tilt, etc). Also, there's a pic on http://www.apple.com/apple-pencil/ where the hand appears to be resting partly on the screen- hopefully that's not a mistake...
Or the $50 pen for Surface Pro 3...Awesoooome!
Those of you whining about $99 can price out a Wacom Cintiq for comparison.
