Apple should not boast of many achievements. No wonder the iPad is limited to non-multitasking yet the entire technology world is talking about hardware/software advances beyond one's imagination. In 2010 we have a dumber than dumb product being sold which will remain a memorable one. It can be understood that mobile phones limit multi-tasking due to battery life but a tablet? Such funny people they are... :-)))))
SJ at the Apple Special Event (April 2010): "It's like we said on the iPad, if you see a stylus, they blew it. In multitasking, if you see a task manager... they blew it. Users shouldn't ever have to think about it." Larry Page & Eric Schmidt at Google Zeitgeist (May 2010): "I have noticed there are a few people who have phones where there is software running in the background that just sort of exhausts the battery quickly. If you are not getting a day, there is something wrong." "The primary consumer of the battery life on these phones is the transmit/receive circuit. So tuning that and obviously figuring out a way to not use too much of that extends your battery life." "And people bring in applications that are not particularly smart about that, which is what Larry is trying to get at." ~gms
