You are stuck in 2010. Corporate has slowly been trading laptops for tablets (mostly iPads) since 2011. So your claim that [sic] "nobodys going to be "PRO'ing" on an ipad" is flat out wrong.

A few examples:

http://www.wired.com/insights/2012/12/how-the-ipad-mini-is-impacting-the-enterprise/

http://www.zdnet.com/one-in-every-five-tablets-will-be-an-enterprise-device-by-2017-7000019038/

Now whether there is a need for a "pro" corporate version of the iPad separate from the Air remains to be seen. Corporate is going to tablets because they are less expensive to buy and maintain than enterprise level laptops & employees like them because it's less weight to haul around.

However, a "pro" version for creative professionals might have a market. Areas such as architecture, electrical engineering, graphic designers, and such where a bigger screen equates to higher productivity.
 
Air has not even hit the streets yet, and people are starting this crapola already. These are the days I am better off not having a gun so close and I might hurt myself.
 
A couple months ago id think your nuts, But with them naming the old ipad the ipad air. I could definitely see them coming out with a pro version to match the macbooks. I can already see theie upcoming lineup.

iPad Mini: 399
iPad Air: 499
iPad Pro: 599

What will be so "pro" about it is as much your guess as mine.

But I dont see this happening at least until October of next year.
 
Right after the Apple television is announced. I heard they're going to bring back Woz to lead the engineering team. He agreed to do it since they have free broadband access at 1 Infinite Loop.

The iPad Pro will be the same as the iPad Air but have the finger print scanner since Apple is nickel and diming us on features these days.
 
Keep telling yourself that, the rest of us will keep using our iPads to make cool stuff.

OH MY OH MY, I'd hate to be in your group called the "rest of us"

Pathetic, come up from your moms basement and talk to other humans face to face. You'll find that really cool!

What a childish response; are you 12 or something? You need to learn to debate and communicate effectively. You claim that iPads are not capable of creating anything while others claim that you are wrong - your response should be to provide evidence to back up your claim, not make personal insults. You also need to learn to spell, and learn what words mean.
