The Apple iPad, and anything Apple for that matter, lives in it's own world. Apple communicates and operates the way it wants to and does not adapt very well to any other form digital information or transfer.

I do have an iPad air. It's o.k. However, information transfer and format is a lot easier between my P.C. and my Tyros than the iPad.

For years, I avoided buying anything Apple, and I teach part time where a good share of the education world I know only knows how to run an Apple product. But I also knew that interacting with keyboards, PC's and you name it was going to be more difficult with IOS/Apple.

Bottom line. You buy an Android product...you do your thing your way. You buy an Apple product, you do your thing the way Apple wants you to do it...and it's usually a lot more $$$.
