Hey neighbor!
I'm a college music student and I totally agree with everything you just said. Maybe in the future we will get rid of sheet music and end up with this?
Got a tip for us?

Yes, and alas, the Modbook is ugly and heavy, without the benefit of multi-touch. Should 3rd party developers decide to make the iPad into a content creation device, I will gladly throw my money at them, and at the sleek and pretty iPad. Accusing people of not being "real artists" because they would rather use an iPad for art instead of a Modbook or a Wacom is not exactly artistic talk. Sounds more like tech-geek talk.
I actually brought up this topic on the iPad section of MacRumors... I should have known they would be on top of things and post it here.
I'm very excited to use Sketchbook Pro on my new iPad! I will be using a Pogo Sketch as well, until someone develops a better stylus.

I would be really surprised if that were indeed not the case. The larger screen will offer a dramatically improved usability. We're not even looking at the tip of an iceberg, though it has already appeared on the horizon.
I agree! I'm very excited about what the iPad could do for creative applications. As far as digital art is concerned, Wacom has been without competition for far too long. They have become lazy, not listening to their customers' feedback and being sooo slow to update hardware. With all the technology available today, I think it is totally inexcusable that they have yet to come out with a TRULY portable digital sketchbook. And because they basically have a monopoly on digital tablets, egads do they overprice their products.
Sketchbook Pro is one of those apps that seems so limited on the iPhone screen but will work so well on the iPad. Glad the software developers are utilising it. Now I'd like to see Autodesk make Inventor or AutoCAD for it. Even the LT versions would be enough for simple CAD file viewing on the move and mocking up concepts when the idea comes to me rather than waiting until I get to work.
You kind of missed my main point, but never mind. Do you know the man? You can have him then. Lock him anywhere far from a television camera!

Twice the functionality and no Apple lock-in. Get your apps from anywhere. It's all about choice.
If it's choice you want, the App store has more than I can keep up with. If it's multitouch you want, that Dell is nowhere near where I want to be. If that Dell is running a full-blown OS, it completely misses the 21st-century point.
The iPad is my choice.
Windows 7 is fully touch-aware. The power of a REAL OS, with touch, on an HP Slate. How is running a full OS with all that functionality not 21st century? Windows 7 was released late last year. Sounds plenty 21st century to me . . .
LOL, you'll see. You can't just bolt on some touch front-end software to an existing OS and have it satisfy. You have to write from the ground up for a new device, and tablets are new devices.
If you are trying to shoehorn old technology (Windows) on new devices (HP Slate), you will get the predictable results. Windows Everywhere was Microsoft's cry of battle, but it wasn't the consumers cry as we saw the rejection of WinCE on handheld devices. A full-blown OS just doesn't belong on some devices. It's overkill.
But if you are techie enough to desire Windows 7 for its core technology, you are not the target audience for the iPad. The target audience is an order of magnitude larger than the tech audience. So while the tech audience will scratch their heads at the fools buying the iPad, the rest of the world will move forward into the decade of the tablet.
By the way, I love the irony of your tag line:
One look at the stock price during Ballmer's term as CEO tells you everything you need to know about how the market views his leadership ability.

you sir are a genius. i'd gladly pay $100 for a copy of sketchbook pro bundled with a pencil
I have SketchBook Mobile and Brushes and have to say that Brushes is much better. Personally, I will hold out for Brushes.
Regarding the comment about finger painting and "real artists" Check out this flickr gallery of Brushes work... Some really nice stuff in there.

Windows 7's success is directly attributable to MS' concerted effort to achieve the usability of OS X, but with CHOICE. You can get any netbook you want and not be tied to Apple's Big Brother policies. Apple's approach is failing.
LOL, I get what you are doing, and it's very clever. Good use of irony.
For anyone who thinks LTD is being serious, I just point out these paragraphs from page 3 of the Time cover article on Steve Jobs:
Windows 7 is all about points on a feature chart. Like Chinese knock-offs that think if one USB port is good, six USB ports must be better, and hey, let's throw in four cameras too, Windows is about the tyranny of choice. Most people hate that, but techies love to ponder feature charts and thus do not understand. Most people want what works and what is simple and direct.
If I have to choose between Steve Ballmer's design choices and Jonny Ive's design choices, I'm with Ive.
As for my point about how the market views both Microsoft and Apple, this 5-year chart says it all:

Then where are all the news stories about anyone selling 100's of thousands of Windows 7 touchscreen tablets? How many people have you actually seen using one, compared with much less capable Kindles?
Um...could you please back up a step. Thanks. Didn't think the lines outside the Apple store were going to be this tight.
Your perspective is indeed LTD (that is, Limited). Use the Force, gakusei. A new time is upon us.
I absolutely LOVE the concept of this as a sheet-reader for the piano. Totally awesome to take your music in such a small package, and turn the page with just a swipe. Would be even nicer if a tap could turn the page, since a swipe takes more time of hands away from the keys. And you can annotate. Very preliminary, but totally awesome concept.
Also, am I the only one that's going to use this as a photo slideshow for little ones? My 18 month old just loves looking at pictures of people, and she's gentle enough that I won't worry about her breaking it. Here's to April 3!
That would be pretty easy to do. All you would have to do is put in a slider switch for analog input connected inside the pen to the tip. (think analog triggers on game controllers). The trick would be to make the metal spring really tight so the artist doesn't feel the pen mashing when they press hard.
But convincing Apple to let a bluetooth device like this connect is the HARD part.
