iPad?

Soooooo. The iPad, huh?

I was hoping for something that would run Illustrator and Photoshop. Something that would allow me to use a stylus on the touch screen. But instead, I feel like Spicoli...

No shirt. No shoes. NO DICE!

It's cool for what it is. But I already have what it is. Okay, maybe not wrapped up in one device, but I have my iBook and I have my iPod Touch. That combination's been working for me so far, so I think I'll stick with it.

So do I hope for design features in the next version of the iPad, or do I purchase a Cintiq, which would add another device to my arsenal while subtracting $1000 from my bank account?

That's the smaller (12.1" display), low end option. The 21.3" model goes for $1999 – which would also be enough money to upgrade my laptop.

Jobs and the gang could have made these decisions much easier for me by addressing the needs of their most loyal followers – designers and artists.

Sigh... I'm going to go sharpen my pencils.
