I'm sure it will also suffer from the basic things that apple always does (and it's adherents never seem to mind). Putting aside the usefulness and - pmb Jan 27, 13:51 3
- after a company reports a 40% profit margin its pretty safe to say you are getting ripped off - stewie Jan 27, 14:19
- I know after trying to browse the iTunes store last night to spend $55 in gift cards, I'll never use it willingly again. - TWuG Jan 27, 14:02 1
  - My kids are dying for apple lap tops. They have laptops that work absolutely fine. Do everything they need at half the cost. They think the macs - pmb Jan 27, 14:05
The bezel is the first thing I remarked upon. Seriously, WTF? What happened to Apple's design boys on that one? -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 27, 13:47 1
- it looks to be about the same as an iMac. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 13:48
Where, Mr. Potter, would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar? -- nm - Snape Jan 27, 13:44 1
- I believe it involves a gullet of some kind. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:48
Shit. Duck, here comes David. -- nm - mara Jan 27, 13:42
wow on no multitasking - stewie Jan 27, 13:40 21
- This is the big issue that needs to be addressed by V2. -- nm - David Jan 27, 13:44 5
  - my fear is that it is a feature of the OS and would require a complete rewrite from the ground up - decline Jan 27, 13:48 4
    - i thought that current gen iphones could multitask. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 27, 14:04
    - Android seems to have them beat technically -- nm - stewie Jan 27, 13:53 1
      - yes ... which is why I was looking forward to the Android-based Nook device. - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:54
    - jailbroken iphones can multitask. I could see how making it *elegant* would be a challenge, though :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:50
- yeah, that is the one thing that really bothers me. I mean, it cannot even play mp3s while you read a book. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 27, 13:42 7
  - this is wrong. the iPod feature on my iPhone can work in the background. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:49 1
    - Yep - though I expect music has to be loaded onto the iPad, not streamed through, say, Pandora -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 13:51
  - I doubt that's what it means. The iPhone can do that -- nm - Guigue Jan 27, 13:49
  - seems like it would drive people away from their apps and towards things available online (google docs)... assuming the browser has tabs - stewie Jan 27, 13:45 2
    - if they use the same browser as on the iTouch, it does not have tabs - decline Jan 27, 13:49 1
      - my iPhone can have up to 8 pages open at once. Also, in the presentation, they said that all apps had been rewritten. - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:51
  - That is one of the things that will get a ton of complaints -- nm - scorpion Jan 27, 13:45
- i would actually love this. i get distracted way too easily if i can have the internet or other things up in the background when i'm writing -- nm - tik tok Jan 27, 13:42 6
  - To be fair, you won't be doing too much writing with its onscreen keyboard. -- nm - Ender Jan 27, 13:50 2
    - No, no, it's perfect for me! It'll slow down my writing, make me really think about it! -- nm - picksee Jan 27, 13:55 1
      - picksee is *brainwashed.* nm - Dignan Jan 27, 13:59
  - it's not a bug, it's a feature! -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 13:43 2
    - for me it would be - tik tok Jan 27, 13:45 1
      - for me, it's a bug. I can't SSH into a server and make code changes and test them in a web browser. - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:56
The frame around the screen. -- nm - TWuG Jan 27, 13:39
the bezel is the black part that isn't the display part. aka, the plastic part on monitors. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:39 2
- It doesnt look that big to me. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 27, 13:47 1
  - Hi there -- nm - Greg Oden Jan 27, 13:47
