“I don’t use one anymore at all, except at the office. iPad and iPhone is all I need.”
You are not by yourself. We have younger relatives in middle to upper management jobs which require them to be out of their offices. That combo has made laptops no longer necessary in many work situations. Ironically two of them didn’t want to give up their laptops, and their management said that the laptops were not cost effective in the field.
Now, they couldn’t get by without their I Pads/Phones.
I can’t see using the iPad in a professional fashion.
It has no file structure, fir one. With OSX, if I’m doing a project on Howling Wolf, I create a folder called “Howling Wolf.”
I out all the files related to it in that folder: the ID files, the fonts, the AI .eps’s, the .psd’s, etc., and the text notes regarding it.
You can’t do this on an iPad! Such a simple, fundamental process, available since System 6, completely unavailable in iOS on the iPad!
And the fonts? How do I install Suitcase, to switch font sets?
How do I instruct ID to Save For Service Provider when I have absolutely no control over any of my files?
It’s so frustrating! I hate that Apple is leaving publishers and creatives behind, I just absolutely hate it, yet there’s nothing we can do about it...
