I do believe all of the ideas you’ve presented for your post. They’re very convincing and will certainly work.

Still, the posts are very quick for starters. Could you
please lengthen them a bit from next time? Thank you for the post.

[...] Jean Louis-Gassée backs this up with an article on why iPad just isn’t up-to-snuff as a professional tool. ”But when we take a closer look at the iPad ‘Pro’, we see that Apple’s tablet is far from realizing its ‘professional’ potential. … The more complex the task, the more our beloved 30-year-old personal computer is up to it. But there is now room above the enforced simplicity that made the iPad’s success for UI changes allowing a modicum of real-world ‘Pro’ workflow on iPads.” [...]

This is a curious article. I suppose it boils down to “specialists’ v “generalists”. Should you have one item that does all things poorly or should you have many items that do a few things well. Do I want to go jogging with an iPad or laptop? Clearly not! Do I want to write a novel on an iPhone? Clearly not. Within the constraints of current/future tech, there will be no “perfect” device on which it is possible to be all things to all people.

I presume, that as processing power improves and gets cheaper, things like multi-tasking and multiple windows on small form devices will happen. However, in tech, there is no such thing as a free lunch. There is a trade-off for complexity.

Hi. I+m the technology adviser of an organization with +1500 users.The most important feature in a future iPad Pro is Spotlight pro level.
All business users use imap and/or exchange email, an they need to use spotlight to search email texts, subjects, senders and receivers stored in iPad and in the email server.
According to our business users feedback in OS 6.1. this feature is limited and not precise compared with Mac OS.According to our users this is the killer feature to get iPad in to business environment.

Another feature/s that’s waiting in the “to be added” list on iOS is multiple accounts and individual App locking.

iOS first came to public on a phone. So it’s ok to assume there might not be sharing of devices between families or even work groups. With iPads it would make a lot of sense to be able to lock Mail or other stock / finance Apps that you don’t want everyone to see. Same goes with multiple accounts.

One thing you omitted in this otherwise well written post, is the developers themselves. Currently you can not write code for an iPad on an iPad (I.e., write code and compile such as with dev tools like Xcode). And no, developers are not yet ready to compile elsewhere on the “cloud” or some wacky dacky idea like that. So please wake me up when the day comes that Apple releases Xcode and I can get LLVM and other dev tools (not just compilers but also GUI design tools and so on, as well as Terminal app and oh heavens, even root access?). So until that day comes, the Mac won’t die. There are all sorts of really stupid ideas / rumors floating around these days that the Mac is dead and will be dropped entirely from Apple soon (yeah fat chance, do these imbeciles really think Apple is going to kill off Macs and thus stop providing OS X developer tools?). Oh and by the way, a friend of mine just got the 27″ iMac and loves it! The display is huge, gorgeous and works great for his needs for looking at big spreadsheets and using Powerpoint. So when will the iPad Pro have a powerful enough graphics processor to not just video mirror or AirPlay but capable of driving, say, a 27″ external display for viewing large amounts of information in a “data drenched” world we live in. So for all those “Mac is dead” doodads, keep on dreaming …

The best iPad Pro is actually a hybrid Win 8 tab\ultrabook. This is written on a 128GB ATIV which supports all the workflows above with real apps like office, even (at a pinch) full blown CAD like AutoCAD or Autodesk Revit

While tablets are still young, Apple has been maturing the hardware. Unlike PCs, the differentiator will be primarily software/ecosystem (ditto for phones). This will cause issues for OEMs of tablet hardware as there is little room to differentiate on specs or even looks. A tablet is glass, battery and software. By pushing memory to 128 Gb, Apple quietly sets the upper end in its wide range while others fight for the low end. And that will not end well for anyone not hooked into profits from services (e.g. Amazon). Microsoft paying $2 billion to help take Dell private is either a Hail Mary for the old PC model, or a Hail Mary for the new tablet model. Either way, Microsoft is praying for miracles.

@srikanth, in one word, YES. iPad is limited in comparison to the Surface.

That’s a feature, not a bug.

Well argued article. However, as you point out, “the ‘Pro’ monicker isn’t official”. Though professional applications of the iPad have emerged, as far as I understand it neither the device nor its software is explicitly designed for them. Certainly, I don’t think Apple believe that more storage by itself moves a device from consumer to professional market.

The comment above makes an excellent point, too. A tablet is probably always going to be an accessory to a desktop for most professional and probably a lot of consumer applications, at least for now.

I think there is a misunderstanding at the heart of this post. In the 1990′s, you could maybe say that pro computing was business computing but that is no longer the case. Business people are about half on Windows XP. They represent the lowest of low-end computer users today. Most people with XP who try an iPad don’t look back. They had a 20GB hard disk in their XP machine with 10 GB free, so the 15 GB free on an iPad mini seems large. I have seen that again and again since iPad shipped.

There are professional audio mixers that are missing all of their knobs and sliders and in place there is an iPod dock. Nobody needs to put multiple windows and a spreadsheet on that iPad to make it part of a professional workflow. The workflow that iPad is part of transcends computers. You see the same in medicine, where they have never had a personal computer that suited before iPad. From a music or medical perspective, iPad is the first *professional* computer we’ve seen. Everything in music is touch-based. Everything in medicine is pressed for time. You want a touch computer that reacts to you immediately, that is the first step.

But if you want to make iPad part of a professional computer workflow, the way to do it is add a Mac as an accessory. For example you can write software on the Mac and run it on iPad, both native and Web software, including eBooks. You can run pro audio software on a Mac and control it wirelessly with an iPad. You can write on the iPad while you research on the Mac.

In other words, the “iPad Pro” you are looking for is a Mac+iPad. That is iPad Pro. I would say to anyone who has a Mac, add an iPad to it, even if just a mini. The two devices together are more than the sum of their parts.

As for the 128 GB of storage, that is long overdue. There are iPads in audio, video, databases, that are full up. I hope to see Apple double all the storage this year also, because the interactive books that we make with iBooks Author are surprisingly large for a 16 GB iPad. I would like to see users with more storage so that they can buy more content.

Hi,

One App I’ve recently discoveredis the Dolphin Browser App. It has built in functionality to clip whole or parts of web pages straight to Evernote and also and annotation option when clipping. It may help with some of the problems you’re having.

I am in no way associated with the App but its made my browsing/data collection a whole lot easier for my blog.

I do agree though, trying to use the iPad for proper business use and all you need to do in that arena can be a pain, I agree with Steve that it’s an opportunity for App developers but the best thing would be for Apple to open up the system a bit more. Without a central file store it’s always going to be difficult.

Even at 6.x, iOS is, IMHO, still pretty raw and, in some ways, quite unusable, especially for a power user. (:-( I’ll not take this opportunity to get on a soapbox about all the things I dislike, if not hate, about iOS; suffice it to say, I remain disappointed with what Apple’s UI team is releasing to the masses for the tablet/phone OS.
