Sounds like a neat device. My old trust iPad 2 is getting long in the tooth, seems awfully slow now -- it seems slower with each iOS upgrade, which makes no sense unless newer versions of iOS are slower. So maybe one of these Pros is in my future.

But you'd think Walt Mossberg could at least use the terms correctly:

> ...Wi-Fi-only model with 32GB of memory, which stretches to $949 with 128GB of memory...
No, Mr. Mossberg, the new iPad Pro has 4GB of "memory". RAM. Mossberg means 32GB or 128GB of "storage" as in "file system" and yes I know that SSDs are really Flash memory but we don't call our automobile tires "rubbers" do we? Well, at least -I- don't call them that. Grrr.

Anyway, nice long review but worth it if one is interested in the Pro. Thanks for posting.

Mossberg is a hack. His reviews are rarely insightful.
