        @monkbent naming is screwed up. iPad Air is high end, with all features. MB Air is compromised, no retina. What is Air? What is Pro?

        @monkbent consider: the iPad Air IS the iPad Pro. The iPad mini is the "iPad".

        @monkbent if that means an iPad with an active digitizer (pressure sensitivity, hover shadow emulation), sounds perfect.

        @monkbent Yep, but are there going to be three iPads (Pro, Air, Mini)? Isn't that too much segmentation?

        @monkbent Desktop: Pro and iMac. Laptop: Pro and Air. Two for each segment, then iPad: Air and Mini. Why Pro? What's the targeted market?

        @monkbent yes, but I am moving towards smaller than larger with iOS. (Because I like Windows on larger laptop-y devices.)
