Something for i-Pad and Android could be useful (I only have the latter).
Surface and/or Android pad make more sense than iPad support, IMHO. SONAR is Win only, so most of us don't do iPads. I realize many people may be live sound engineers, and iPads had the early lead in that arena, but with the Behringer X32 and others adding Surface support the options are wider now. I have no interest in paying 3X the cost of an Android pad in order to get an Apple product that is a stripped-down device anyway. At least the surface can work as a full-function PC in addition to being a very good tablet.
And for the person who just wants the remote control function and doesn't really care about architectures per se, you can't beat the value of the Android pads. Under 100 bucks for a 10" pad.
I have a Surface Pro 2 and would prefer a remote control on that for SONAR as well. But I reluctantly got the iPad because as a pure tablet, the Surface just doesn't have a good selection of apps, so I use it mostly as a laptop. The ironic exception is the
desktop version of OneNote, but used in tablet mode with the (real) stylus (i.e., not one of those fat-tipped wannabe things that pass as a stylus for iPad). The Store, i.e. crippled version of OneNote is really bad compared to the desktop version.
But realistically, the number of iPads/Android compared to Surface is the problem.
