Apple unveiled Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for iPad on Tuesday, finally bringing the video and music production software to the tablet.

Calling the combo the “ultimate mobile studio,” the company said both will be available later this month. And, in a first for Apple’s pro apps, they are subscription-based.

Perhaps most importantly, it’s going to be a nuts WWDC if Apple is dropping major software like this just a month beforehand.

Nice. And a subscription model, a first for Apple in the pro arena I believe, also helps to make these apps more accessible to those in the pro-sumer space that might not want (or be able) to make a large investment in them.

I can tell you this: I've been married for eight years, and that's had a really good influence on me. I've been very lucky, through random happenstance I just happened to sit next to this wonderful woman who became my wife. And it was a big deal. We have three kids, and it's been a big deal. You see the world differently.
