Amen. Musicians created fantastic works 20 years ago on computers with  
little more than a 68000 and a Midi port. Don't tell me a multitouch  
screen 1GHz ARM pad with GBs of storage is not useful to a musician.  
You only have to look at what is already available on iPhone to see  
how much music potential is there.
