iPad isn’t multi-tasking … again… !
Much anticipated, Apple’s New tablet iPad launched today … ! It is all same as rumored, and feels like a big size iPod touch in your hand. But whats this ……. iPad too is not multitasking ???? … Damn man …. We are in digital age and multitasking is now a basic feature of most OS driven devices and applications and I am still not able to understand what is restricting Apple to make there devices multitasking.
I couldn’t make iPhone as my phone because of this this major missing feature “Multi-tasking”..
What it mean… .simply it wont allow you to keep open 2 or more application at same time. And this is damm bad. I want to keep running always my IMs (I use skype most, but still keeps Yahoo, MSN and Gtalk for my friends) regardless I play a game or run any other application. Or lets take another situation…. I want to keep listening to Internet radio in background and read a book as well. But its not possible in any smart line products from apple such as iPhone or iPod touch, and now iPad too !
And all above you can get with most of smart phones available today … Palm, HTC, Nokia, RIM… or Android based.
I see iPad just a big size iPod touch + inbuilt mic ! ( damm … iPod touch doesnt have mic, and I wasnt aware until I bought it…)
So if you hook a tiny microphone to your ipod touch … it will be same as iPad except the big size. Your applications are same as ipod/iphone. iPad’s screen resolutions is 1024×768 wich provide 132 ppi (pixels per inch) much less then what I was expecting, Google’s nexus one much more clear picture with almost 152 ppi.
I coudnt see any reason till now to upgrade my smart-phone to iPad, or downgrade my laptop to iPad…
