Apple's usual 'way' is to serve the needs of professionals who will use their products, not to thwart them.
The Environment as we know it, most likely will change into something more elegant and simple. They still have to accommodate people who need something like the Environment due to their specific setup, so hopefully they've come up with a better, more simplified way to handle it.
As far as touch screens, I for one am not anxious to have my arms constantly extended towards a screen to touch things that I want to manipulate. Think about it... that would be very uncomfortable over an extended period of time. Between my Mackie controller, a keyboard and a mouse, I've got it all ergonomically covered, without feeling like I'm constrained or something. Maybe if the touch screen was flat on the desk it would be more direct and accessible, but I'm not convinced that I'll be spending $ on another monitor just to grease it up with my fingers.
And even if the new app is touch screen capable, that doesn't mean you won't be able to use it without touching, so as long as you can run OSX 10.5, you'll be able to use the new program. |
sure it will be tabletop, and can you imagine a touchscreen hovering on a suspending arm next to your rack or keyboard? to me that would be kindof cool, check the cintiq wacom tablets.. I think apple will integrate the stuff inside the screen, for some models like they've done with the imac.
you'll probably have to buy/use a normal screen to display tracks etc.
speculate?

all this talk makes me hungry
