I thought when I was reading their was a way to swap to a desktop version of OSX or something.
SO you can only run Apps on it?
It uses iOS9, same as the iPhone and regular iPad so you can only run Apps from the AppStore.

Ahh right, so it comes with the Keyboard and stylus.
That makes it "pro", lol.
confused that they didn't switch it to x86 architecture and throw a intel core m in there. seems the obvious choice for a "pro" machine - especially given the introduction of the recent 12" macbook, but maybe I'm an idiot and apple knows something i don't.
In terms of productivity, it doesn't seem to offer much more than the original iPad bar more screen real estate. Keyboard and stylus have been available for a while from third parties.
No no, you have to pay for those.
The stylus isn't really the improvement - as you said its been available third party since day dot - however the screen is much more accurate then other iPads allowing a closer 1-1 'drawing' on the screen when utilising a stylus when compared to other models.
Will the Pencil improve my Boom Beach attacks? Tbh that's all I play on it.
As i said, the chip in the iPad pro should be quicker then the Surface Pro 3 - shame there's no applications to make use of the power.Imagine a Surface Pro 3 with no kickstand, no dockability, limited ecosystem, no expandable storage/USB port, dubious palm rejection and $200+ more expensive and you basically have the iPad Pro - I think that covers it?
This is the issue Apple need to overcome if its as powerful as Apple claim (and the rumours lead people to believe) then its as powerful as the 2013 macbook pro in any application that utilises both CPU and GPU - so Apple need some dedicated applications that make good use of all the power otherwise its just a larger angry birds machine.

Well it better be something with the Pro4 about to be released.
Imagine if MS did put a Surface like this out..imagine the laughter scorn etc.
Im not defending it, just saying its got all the power it needs which is quite an achievement for an ARM based chip.

Are you quite sure, this is faster than an i5? Where are you sourcing that?
I can't see it being that more powerful than the i5, but then you choose with the SP3 up to an i7.
