On today\u2019s show we\u2019ll talk with artists who are creating music with Apple\u2019s iPads, iPhones and the iPod Touch. We\u2019ll find out why they are using these devices to make music and what are the challenges and limitations of those devices.<\/p>\n
So why do a who featuring music created with iPads, iPhones and the iPod Touch?<\/p>\n
I think the answer is pretty simple. There are a lot of different smart phones and MP3 players but Apple is the company that got it right. These devices are incredibly powerful but easy and intuitive to use and developers have created some wonderful applications for them. And those apps are often equally easy and intuitive to use. And that means there are a lot<\/i> of people walking around with these little handheld computers with the capability to create music and that\u2019s a wonderful thing.<\/p>\n
Apple\u2019s iPad is not the first tablet device to hit the market but it is the first successful tablet. Wildly successful, in fact. And once again developers are coming up with some wonderful apps.<\/p>\n
And the iPad is one of the reasons I wanted to do today\u2019s show because a lot of people are claiming that it\u2019s ust a media consumption device or that it\u2019s just a big iPhone. As today\u2019s show proves the iPad is also a media creation device and it clearly not<\/i> just a big iPhone.<\/p>\n
