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.

That's not what I said, dishonest one.

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.
