    I've been using it for a while now. It works very well but what was shown today is a different world from what's there now.

    €99 for a pen...

    I'm sorry but that's a massive rip off.

    A hundred euro!

    I think the iPad Pro is showing the future of iOS devices to come.

    $169 for the keyboard.

    Irish prices used to pretty much swap € for $, but with the FX rate the way it is now, that 128 gigger with LTE probably won't give much change from €1200 I'd say.

    I really think that it should have had front facing speakers given how much Johnny spent talking about the speakers.

    The Microsoft thing makes sense for their re-positioning of iPads from media/social use to work tool.

    So Microsoft chappie assures people office apps are on board with the new Pro.

    Adobe chappie assures people graphic apps are on board with the new Pro.

    Medical company lady suggests that the iPad Pro might find itself useful enough to become ubiquitous in hospitals.

    Et voila. iPad Pro is now an app-ed up workhorse for the workplace.

    I love it - especially the keyboard. Put me down for 10 of the blighters. But yes, the price they'll sell at will void your bowels.
