    Here here.. well put Marvin… Maybe the P means Final Cut Pion the person actually trying to edit on it.
    But really.. when you look back at Apple and how they have bungled pro apps like Shake and Color you have to wonder if they really have what it takes to make a professional application. They are about jargon like the word “app” and about charging a ton of cash for relatively straightforward laptops and desktops. It is all made for apple by the real players like ASUS and Apple is basically just a hardware assembler .
    If you look at their margins you must shake your head at how brilliant they are at packaging things up and charging alot of money for the average computer.

    You direct me to two articles that say essentially that 50% of the Fortune 100 are “using or testing the
    iPad,” without any sort of attribution other than the “Wall Street Journal says,” and one link to a page on Apple’s website. What you said was this:

    In every case their products have creeped into professional use. – Craig Seeman.

    Back that up. And the word is crept.

    [Craig Seeman] ” It may have been “difficult” decision. Sadly it’s not likely we’ll know that.”

    we just need to bug the boardroom: a few editing Liddy’s, a few editing Howard Hunts, balaclavas and mikes.

    Or, well, Apple could just open their gnomic traps.

    iPad is a very nice toy but even after a year or so the iPad is still not approved by your own government whereas the RIM playbook… only out for but a month or so has today been approved by the US government use. iPad not even close but keep in mind Apple just released RECORD profits.
    People will just buy just about anything if it is marketed as “cool” (or whatever word the sub 45 crowd use today) or “AWESOME”
    The ipad has not gotten this certification so I am not sure where people are arguing that the pad has hit the pro market.

    [TImothy Auld] “Back that up. “

    Try here.

    “According to Good Technology, which provides mobile device management services to 49 of the Fortune 100 and 182 of the Fortune 500, 27 percent of the mobile devices activated by its enterprise customers during the second quarter of 2011 were tablets,” Paczkowski reports. “And most of those were iPads. Paczkowski reports, “More than 95 percent, actually”

    Acually, if we strip out all our personal “who moved my cheese” angst – perhaps it’s a whole order of magnitude simpler than that.

    FCP-X was the very first App Store trial where Apple gets $300 bucks every time someone clicks a mouse – every cent outside development personnel costs drops directly to the bottom line.

    Even if the clicks slow to a crawl – it still drives bottom line growth since it has virtually NO incremental costs of sales other than it’s miniscule share of whatever bandwidth costs apple accounts for internally.

    In retail, margin is one of the holy grail metrics.

    The margin on this has to be SICK.

    Another good indicators that these guys are playing a totally different game.

    BTW, if you want another indication of how the global retail game is evolving FAST, check out THIS link forwarded by my doctor (we enjoy trading interesting web finds) …

    First you provide no link to the article you selectively quote so that one might actually read it in context and in whole, and you fail to mention that this comes from a business website that has, shall we say, a dog in the fight. Not exactly from Consumer Reports. And who is Paczkowski?
