Can you let me into a secret and tell me what software you use to do these? I love the little animations you do and am keen to have a crack at it myself
Got a tip for us?

Considering the speed of memory in iPads and iPhones maxes out at 60-70MB/s only if you have an app or file that can actually saturate that bandwidth, it means the iPad Pro maxes out at up to 140MB/s....again only if that bandwidth can even be utilised by mobile apps and file formats. That will be rare, but will be helpful for very high res video.
Some in my family still insist on using a p&s to take pictures and record video. When they ask me if I want to borrow one I say, "why? My phone takes better and it's easier to edit and upload." They never trust me. *shrugs*
Clearly Apple has taken note of the over 1 Billion Bucks MS has taken in on the Surface. While iPad sales dwarf Surface sales SP3 has stepped into Apple territory of creating a category. Reading here it becomes clear that many have never tried SP3. It will certainly be interesting to see if/how the tides shift with SP4.
Lol. It's the only way to do most things. Not having a file system is a joke.
if not anything iPad Pro is check mate against Intel (if CPU is faster than 80% of the mobile PCs and GPU is faster than the 90% of the mobile CPUs).
Instead of paying Intel $250 to $300 range for the CPU/GPUs, apple could make them about $100.
But at $799 not sure how attractive it is. But I know during holidays it will be easily had for less than that.
who knows it might sell very well. again 32GB is a concern if iPad pro going to be replace mobile PCs.

I'm a pro photographer and I don't think I'm their target market either. Problem is the same as every generation of iPad before it.. getting content onto it is an utter bitch. It's all very well having this power what to do with it? 4x 4k Streams? Pointless. Unless the only reason they lay that claim is so you can use your 4k video from your new iPhone 6s in iMovie. Neither are professional tools. It's like having a massive penis and no testicles.
This is light enough and large enough to use on my music stand to replace sheet music (the iPad was just too small for my eyes) but I don't have any other use for it.
Still not the product for me. I'm clearly a laptop guy, haha.
To consider an iPad, it would have to run Adobe Flash CC, Final Cut Pro X, proper desktop Minecraft. Even then I'd hit a roadblock somewhere, like using game emulation software, or if I begun using Autodesk Maya more regularly.

If you read Becoming Steve Jobs (or any book that details the development of iPad) you'll know why this will never happen.
In fairness, Steve said the pen (whoops, pencil) would never happen either. Apple will follow MS with a full OS on this one or lose this segment.
Until Apple put couple usb-c ports and external monitors and storage could be used with iPad you couldn't compare it to laptop.
Considering 80% of portable devices are probably a few years old or more and ipad-Pro is brand spanking new... this isn't such a big claim.
Photoshop. Lightroom. Final Cut. XCode.
No, the iOS versions of Photoshop and Lightroom aren't up to speed. They're basically "light" versions. There's no Final Cut, only iMovie. There's no coding options whatsoever.
My wife uses Photoshop and Lightroom, and I use XCode, quite heavily.
If Apple wants to get people producing "pro" apps for iOS, they should take the lead, IMO. Give me XCode for iPad Pro, and I might consider buying an iPad Pro. Until then, it just runs "light" versions of pro apps, with the sole exception of drawing apps.
This +10000
It's a serious PITA to move data in/out of an iOS device with just Wireless AC/silly lightning usb 2.0 port. Does Apple seriously expect us to use iCloud to move 4K files that eat up almost 0.5 gb per minute!?
Heck even the Macbook Retina with it's single USB 3.0 port(which BTW went for $1200 or so a couple of weeks ago on sale) is a superior 4K editing machine to the iPad pro. The rMBP 13 also routinely goes for $1100 all the time with 128gb of storage....
He said if you *need* a stylus, you've failed. You don't need a stylus to operate iPad Pro any more than I need my wacom pen to operate my MacBook... They're both accessories - both sold as such - for more niche use-cases.
And yet we'll keep shipping the base Mac Mini with a 5400rpm drive.
Having a typical PC file system in the real joke. For what possible reason would anyone want some downloaded casual game to have access to their tax return files?
What kind od PROs are you if you haven't even heard of http://www.modbook.com? Gees, they have been available longer than the iPhone, for crying out loud.
