Video done by this guy, in case you're interested: http://lonelysandwich.com/
He's done quite a few iOS/Mac promo videos.

Some more facts by video creator Adam Lisagor http://lonelysandwich.com/
I wonder how much something like this would cost?

> I haven't personally tried it, but being able to maintain reasonable parity between the iPad version and the more full-fledged desktop version seems like it would be pretty powerful. [...]
> In the past, I've even used GarageBand for the iPad to mock up initial musical prototypes and then imported them into logic pro on my Mac and that's been pretty fantastic.
I didn't mean to imply that syncing between platforms isn't without merit. You didn't really address the counterarguments that I listed in my post, e.g., that complex media projects require micromanaging files. E.g., syncing a Logic song between platforms doesn't really work if you many GBs of recorded takes, and using many GB third-party sample libraries.
There's a two part problem with Apple's strategy here:
1. They're breaking high-end workflows with these decisions
2. They're not acknowledging how high-end workflows drive lower-end workflows
Here is in my opinion the best piece ever written about how Apple's approach to pro apps changed pre- and post-2010/iPhone, that covers all of these points nicely https://lonelysandwich.com/post/7033868135/fcp-the-new-class but tldr: pre-2010 Apple would have done this by consulting with practitioners on the high-end to build a system they can leverage, post-2010 just builds the new system without consulting anyone and tries to force it on everyone through software releases, this ends up alienating the high-end.

In what way isn't it awesome? It's faster, smaller, brighter, screenier, cameraier, videoier, batterier, storagier, more sensor laden, better looking, and runs better more useful software.
I agree that it's not spouting a coffee filter and electric razor, but strongly disagree that you can step to "not innovative" "meh, useless catchup".
One part of not being measured at features/$ checklist is not being measured at -$ per lack of never seen before feature.
You've seen the Netflix announcement, now take a look at this:

1 day ago that was posted, today we have a HD camera, iMovie and videophone announcement on a device with an upgraded screen, and talk of working with carriers for videophoning (i.e. transmitting video over the cellular networks).
This "no innovation" device might not need a USB hoover attachment to be a cornerstone piece for turning another major industry upside down in a way that others could not mostly by virtue of lots of integration, evolutionary changes and a pleasant enough UI that people wont resist.
