From a purely selfish POV, I'd love it if interest in iOS products hit an early-'90s-reminiscent trough and Apple were actually forced to reduce their prices on the slowest-selling items. The idea would be to buy the 128GB iPad on the cheap when it was absolutely despised and out of fashion, then pick up a Novation Launchkey 25, and enjoy composing polyphonic music for virtual instruments on a moo-hanking tablet that won't run out of space.

But by then, perhaps companies like Sonoma Wine Works will have solved the latency issues in Android, enough pro music software companies will see the potential profit, and I'll be able to use DAWs like Live and Reaper on a Nexus or Galaxy tablet instead.

Technically, the Surface Pro is working up to being able to run Cubase and Live Suite, but when it comes to music, the environment has to be tested, stable and compatible with everything else.
