A month ago, when I needed a new mobile, I was really considering the iPhone.
Things like TouchOSC made it worh a deeper look.
Then again I decided to go with my very old P900 I had in a drawer.
If the tablet comes in an open fashion (i.e. a true OS X) I'm in big danger to spend money I can't make.
I am dreaming of an ultra compact digital music performance system which is interface and engine in one.
(iPhone + SC3 + TouchOSC is very tempting, but that with big limitations. I don't want to get  distracted from making music)

   Michael.
