Damn good point!  Wish you could plug in an external drive and use it just like normal, but alas this hasn't made its way to iOS yet.  Maybe iOS6.

Also, for the audio-interface stuff .. I've got a cheap eu12,- USB-Audio interface plugged into my iPad for our sessions (makes it easier to access the mixer when I can use a 12-foot USB cable), so I don't think thats such a hassle.  Class-compliant devices work fine - plug and play.

Yeah, couldn't find it either, but I imagine its going to be competitive compared to Cubase and co.  Maybe not as cheap as Reaper, but maybe not that bad, either.
