Hi Spalding

You’re a little out of touch with the real world here.

Since Apple launched the iPhone/Pad (And everybody else has followed suit) it’s the Apps that sell the hardware, (Unlike the traditional way of a computer enhancing the hardware) so it’s logical that Roland and other manufactures concentrate on the Apps so as to push the hardware sales.

Look around over the last few years and you will find few apps have been designed in tandem with hardware, but the amount of hardware available to enhance the Apps has exploded. (Just pop down to your local newsagent (Or online) and pick up some Smart Phone/Tablet magazines to see what I mean)

It’s just the way the Smart Phone/Tablet market works.
