Did you? Yep. It seems to me that rehashing the iPhone in a larger package will plug the gap between the iPhone and the Mac without affecting sales of either while taking on the Netbook market at the same time. > NO.

You're just interested in blowing your own trumpet and >> claiming Apple dont understand multitasking. Do you REALLY believe that? Another Quack bald-faced lie. Documented. No one has claimed "Apple dont understand multitasking". We know very well that Apple made a conscience decision to not support true multitasking in the iPad. >That's not what I said, dishonest one. "Hadron" regularly lies about what advocates claim, trying to use his lies to put advocates on the defensive. "Hadron" is a liar. "Hadron" is a POS.
