The Apple iPad
How well can it create music?





The Apple iPad has been selling like hotcakes and although it's still early days there are some great intuitive uses being found for this groundbreaking device.

The iPad's big screen makes it an ideal platform for more serious music making, where perhaps the iPhone and iPod Touch were some what lacking due to the limited space.

Obviously new ipad apps will be coming out daily, but I'm going to concentrate on the truly useful Apple iPad apps, the ones that really make music making a joy!

So here in no particular order are my favourites so far...
