Don't really know how familiar you are with this, but the upcoming app Audiobus on iOS is going to create a whole new market: the market of audio processing only apps.

I was wondering what are your intentions concerning this kind of developments. One can imagine that you could gather some of your most CPU-efficient existing codes and build effect apps from scratch, where the UI would be the most important development (assuming that your code could be compatible with the iOS platform).As for other applications to expect: I think it's impossible to tell what people might come up with, but one example for a new app that can only exist after Audiobus has been launched would be an effects app that only does that: add effects to a live audio stream. It would not need to have additional input or output options, and developers would not have to bother with file management or add all sorts of settings and configuration options as they would have before Audiobus.
To put it in a nutshell: Audiobus will enable developers to create one-purpose apps that allow them to do one thing, and one thing well, without having to focus on all the miscellaneous problems that pre-Audiobus apps have to deal with.
Your thoughts?
. I think it's going the wrong way if people buy a new PC/mac plus handy plus i-pad plus whatever comes in the near future every (second) year or abouts. Sounds like absurdity to me, or made for people who have 4 heads sitting on their shoulders. But who knows, maybe hype-managers are right and in a few years the few who need a keyboard for typing will switch it into some very small iOS which will be replaced every second year. We'll see.
