Re: macbook air and fcpx- the new portable edit suite

[Craig Seeman] "How will the new hardware (MacPro or replacement) and other software elements fit together."

A much succincter way to set up my conclusion: their efforts so far with regards to tying the iPad apps to laptop/desktop apps are abysmal. I'm not looking for miracles: just for the experience to be as good as Apple has led me to believe it should be.

Goodness knows there are already compelling apps for iPads in production - everything from slates to stereoscopic tools to front-end controllers for SANs and switchers. I can see a number of places for FCPX on an iPad in those ecosystems.

Again, not to piss on Apple for the sake of it, and without reference to the value of FCPX or iPads, but I can also imagine the relationship between iPad apps and computer apps being a bit wobbly if the present pattern holds. This would be a fun one to be wrong on, though.
