RLY? I can type this and have music streaming in another and run full software programs.

Yet I can't even multi-task or watch Flash like I can on my device that cost $200 less than your base-model iPad shake head

That's the ONLY way it multi-tasks. My dumbphone from 2004 can do that. IT has done this since the original iPhone, and IMO is not considered "multi-tasking" by any means. Try listening to Pandora while browsing Safari..that's right..YOU CAN'T.
so, it does multitask?

and why do i need to listen to pandora if i have music on the device already?

i would like the ability to do that, i guess i just don't see the necessity at the moment. maybe if you had a better example? but i get where you're coming from...

Thing is I just don't see where this would fit into my life. I've got an HTPC and a laptop at home. I've got my Droid for when I'm on the road or out, which I can tehter ot my laptop if I really need a full computer on the road. It's not like I would carry this with me everywhere. Not sure what this thing is used for.
Pretty much my thoughts. My computers at home are more than enough for what I need (though I'll expand that when we start building the house), and the netbook is perfect for traveling with our blackberry's picking up the slack on just about everything else.

Sorry, I just don't see any reason for this thing in my life.

not defensive, simply stating the obvious. i would do that sort of stuff with my laptop, but it is kind of heavy, the battery is beyond drained all the time, and it takes up too much space in my lap and around me, considering i'd be at a game that's ass to elbows already.

"Messing with 'ya" means that I was just joking. I know what you meant in your original post. You don't need to respond again, because, again, I was just joking and meant nothing by it.

same thing people can say about the iphone, eh?

i don't see the reason for pandas. they're cute, granted, but they're useless creatures. they are bad at reproducing and they eat bamboo, which does nothing for them, so they have to eat tons of it.

i'm getting one of these for my aunt flo

Doesn't bother me. I can take it.

You need something really big to rattle my skin. Like people who disparage all "celerons" as if they were stil based on Pentium III technology, or folks who threadcrap 2.5" portable external hard drives deals by claiming a 3.5" external drive is a better deal!

(Again, joking).

But it isn't TRUE multi-tasking ask ANYONE with an iPhone. Just because it can background ONE THING, and ONE THING ONLY does not classify it to me as "multi-tasking". All iPhones and iPod Touch's can do this.

The fact is..this isn't a primary music device. And you've obviously never used Pandora then.

Have you used an iPhone before?

You should definitely try one out or an iPod Touch because then you'll maybe understand the frustrations of users everywhere. It was somewhat acceptable on an iPhone/iPod Touch, but when you're dealing with a 10inch tablet, it is completely unacceptable because it's not going to have the same primary reasons.

What, you're getting a panda for Aunt Flo???

And pandas are VERY necessary. They are among the cutest animals on earth. That has value!
