[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 55910, member: 46"] Re: Has anybody layed hands on the mackie DL1608 yet? R&D Costs for iPad development = CHEAP - an iPad and a Macbook with iOS software development kit + huge community of available programmers/testers R&D Costs for custom tablet development = HUGE $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ - + unnecessarily having to reinvent the wheel for many basic functions the iPad already supports. Even if they did design their own tablet, it would be impossible to compete with the iPad manufacturing costs based on the tiny pro sound market sales volume. And the iPad integration is actually a good marketing move, it commands more attention than something custom For stuff like this, understand that the pro sound market is really really tiny compared to other markets, and so manufacturers typically wait to piggyback on innovation in other sectors to leverage in their designs and maintain a reasonable profit.
