I just had a bad dream.....

Don't worry, it will wrinkle your skin I hear. LOL

Android and iPhone apps remind me of the kind of software we used to get for our Apple ][s for free or cheap way back when. Back then we were thrilled just to store telephone numbers on a computer. But that was 30 years ago. We should have made some progress.

I hate cell phones and everything they've done to society. I won't have one (although I pay for three. Wife and two daughters). People at work think phones are a basic human right, I can't go out and eat or watch a movie without someone's freaking phone going off. They should be banned from existence and from recording gear world wide.

As with anything, simply because many can't find a use for something doesn't mean it's useless and crap. For example, that little piano on the iPhone may be considered a toy, but that's the toy my wife used as a reference before she sang the national anthem for the Mets in NY and for the local team here in Vegas. And its a pretty common thing among singers as far as I can see. 
 
Similarly, she was a guest on a pretty big rock concert last week in Canada. It was funny to see how many of the guys had iPads attached to a stand w/ charts and lyrics during the soundcheck. I remember the last time we were there, not that long ago actually - everyone had those big binders and flying sheets. The iPad does a much better job and is a much more efficient/professional option.
 
Keyboard players have long since integrated laptops and software like MainStage into their setup. It's pretty easy to imagine the transition to an iPad. And considering that one of the guitar players was using a floor POD Pro in place of an actual amp, it's not that hard to imagine people using soft amp sims like Amplitube on stage in a not so distant future. (Me, I'll stick to a good old Marshall though ;) )
 
One of the guys my wife and I jammed with last weekend was showing me how he uses Garageband on his iPhone to write and work on ideas while on the bus or subway. Naysayers say what they will - that guy has gold records on his walls, closets full of awards, he's worked with some of the biggest names in the industry for almost 40 years and is currently in the house band of one of the biggest shows on national television. Not exactly your amateur DJ wannabe.
 
He also uses an iPad to remote control Logic X - which imho is a much better and efficient way to integrate touch screen to your DAW than anything else.
