[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 73242, member: 67"] Re: X16 Preview Some people want to use the Half-Eaten Fruit Pad, others prefer the Robot Pad. Why is there is push-back from the Apple crowd? IF the money makes sense, I don't really care which is used (although my personal preference is for Robots), but from the sharp-pencil department, having remote control via the Robot OS is the winner. Most of you non-HoW folks will buy ONE pad of whatever OS, for us we'd be looking at at least 6. Sure, we've got a ton of $$ wrapped up in speakers and amps and big digital mixers, but every single expenditure has to be justified on its own merits. Right now the ipad doesn't do that. When I wear the "manager hat" I have to convince the boss that I'm spending his money in ways that will pay back quickly and enhance our services in a way customers will pay more money for or that will save us substantially. Again, paying a premium for the apple logo doesn't do that. This is cold, hard business, not a fanboy decision. When you're buying for yourself you can purchase whatever you want, but when you have to make the accountant happy (along with customers) these decisions take on a slightly different dimension.
