I want to know what you guys think would be of the iPad and the iPad Pro in the future.

I would love to have something similar to what Microsoft is doing with the Surface Pro but for the Mac with iOS and MacOS. It feels like Apple is heading slowly towards that goal.

The problem with the Surface Pro is that it does not run MacOS/iOS or Linux.

> Electronic paper and e-paper, also sometimes electronic ink or e-ink, are display devices that mimic the appearance of ordinary ink on paper. Unlike conventional backlit flat panel displays that emit light, electronic paper displays reflect light like paper. This may make them more comfortable to read, and provide a wider viewing angle than most light-emitting displays. The contrast ratio in electronic displays available as of 2008 approaches newspaper, and newly (2008) developed displays are Ma...
