      @asymco I wholeheartedly agree. So does my better half who builds houses and likes her iPad. Is 13” screen “goldilocks”?

      @gassee I might, just might leave my laptop behind. What's not good enough is the software. A few years to go.

      @counternotions @gassee @asymco Auto-layout is just the right groundwork, even if no changes soon. Someday there will be. iPhone 5's lesson.

          @monkbent @lunaticsx @counternotions @gassee @asymco evidently even Apple couldn't afford to sell its productivity Apps!
