Not to mention, the problem with full app control is how long do the manufacturers support it? How long do they keep porting it over to newer tablet OS’s?
Roland has already orphaned many of their tablet apps. And because they chose to do them Apple only, once the app is discontinued, you can’t even get the app for an older tablet because of the closed nature of the Apple Store.
I like computer apps better, because, even if you need to upgrade your OS for security reasons, you can keep a clone drive with the old OS. And programmers tend to update apps for newer OS’s a lot more than Roland do!
