iOS Menu
UI experiments like this show that what a lot of pro users want for iOS on the iPad is for it to become a Mac.<p>Maybe a Mac with a touch UI mode and a more modern architecture, that is cleaner and has a more restrictive security model - but still a Mac.<p>They&#x27;ll say they don&#x27;t for purity reasons, but their desires show otherwise:<p>- Add ways to show multiple apps on screen at once (e.g. windows – but because they don&#x27;t overlap, oh except for slide-over items, then it&#x27;s new and therefore they don&#x27;t have to admit they are asking for windows)<p>- Add a hardware keyboard<p>- Make the hardware case with keyboard into a laptop form factor<p>- Add a touchpad<p>- Add a way to drag and drop items between on screen apps<p>- Add keyboard shortcuts<p>- Add the Finder, oh sorry, I mean Files.app<p>- Add a menu bar for Pro apps<p>- Next they&#x27;ll ask for a menu item to appear onscreen when an item is force touched; e.g. right click contextual menus<p>Congratulations, you&#x27;ve invented a MacBook. At least you&#x27;ll feel good about yourself as you can now think you&#x27;re using &quot;the future of computing&quot; instead of simply an evolved version of what everyone was using a decade ago.<p>This is a pessimistic but IMO true evaluation of how techies who are proud of themselves for using an iPad for &#x27;real computing&#x27; self evaluate the decision.
