I like it, but they described their market as high end enterprise mostly, so I don’t know why they didn’t go with at least a 21” screen on it.
An one Stylus isn’t so much an innovation, why didn’t they provide at least two, since part of their market strategy is also people working off the same screen on the device.
Overall, right now it looks like a weak copy of other devices, but if Apple is able to get it to target the high end area with their ability to make their hardware and software work well together... this might turn out as a really disruptive device in the market.
They would be taking on devices that cost 2.4-5k made by Intel for conference rooms where you still have to lug your laptop there and these existing devices don’t work with tablets in most cases.
I am willing to wager big money that the Apple Pencil will be brought to all other Apple devices as the product refresh cycle continues. It is too big of a design expense to be solely dedicated to just the iPad Pro.
Speaking ex-Cathedra from my little toe!
I don't think it looks like a "weak copy of other devices" at all. In fact, dila, it looks like it is much stronger than the leaders in the field, lacking the latency the leaders suffer from and is completely divorced from the crippling tethering to a desktop or even a laptop required to use them. The Apple Pencil is far more sophisticated than any other stylus type device I can think of. . . then add that the combination of Apple Pencil with a stand-alone iPad Pro with it that can go anywhere to do work, that is a game changer.
