I spent a very long time following the Apple iPad rumors. During that time I had built up this image of the ultimate portable device... a device that I knew that Apple would not be able to fully create. After the reveal yesterday I was left feeling sort of "meh" about the whole thing. A part of me really really wants a nice 10 hour (battery) media device, but at the end of the day, I'm not sure if I can ignore it's down falls. It's been years since the iPhone OS was introduced and there STILL is NO multitasking. This is a major oversight. At the end of the day though, I still can't say I won't be intrigued when it comes out Spring.

What is this pointless obsession with multitasking? The only reason for it would be to listen to Internet radio stations.

I wouldn’t care except Android has proven how useful it is to be able to do multiple things at once. Want to listen to Pandora and browse the web? Want to receive Twitter updates while checking out the latest sports scores? Want to do anything and anything else? Android lets you do those things. That’s why I support the Google side of the Google/Apple war.
