Note: I&#x27;m not taking a position on the actual capability of iPads in the professional space, but this comment is a masterstroke in setting up strawmen and bravely knocking them down.<p>I&#x27;m not the parent commenter, but from the top...<p>&gt; Far from trivial doesn&#x27;t really capture a device that combines being the most expensive with a 75% market share in the US[0] and where US tablet ownership among internet users is 54%[1].<p>As hinted at by the first part of the sentence you&#x27;re responding to, this thread is talking about the quality of iOS devices for professional work, not their popularity.<p>&gt; Oooh, is there (yet another) new iPhone killer out again this month?<p>The snark here handily hides the lack of substance:  once again, the reason there&#x27;s no iPhone-killer (and I don&#x27;t anticipate there being one for some time) is a different question from whether there&#x27;s an alternative better-suited to professional work.
