Apple continues to show it copycats instead of invents. The comments are rather interesting. Not sure why anyone would want to spend all that extra money on something that does practically nothing to enhance the iPad experience.

I don't know why tablet devices are now subject to the kind of factionalism that used to be reserved for Mustang fans vs. Camaro fans. The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is definitely a nice device. So is the iPad. I'm currently working on a project that targets both.

Totally.

I work on server-side projects (mainly) using a multitude of technology, but also iOS and Android.

My preferred dev machine is a Macbook Pro. Some of the other engineers prefer linux.

It just doesn’t matter.

The only thing I’ve really noticed is the move away from Windows on the desktop in the last five years - for engineers and so on.
