Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

You would probably have to save the file and print it with the app or there is a possibility that the app adds itself to the mail client and becomes another function available like the keyboard add-ons. There is a bit of multitasking occurring, when I receive an excel sheet to my phone, it opens it to view and play with while still in the email client without stopping one or the other. What people are really referring to for multitasking is running something like Pandora at the same time as reading an e-book or playing a game while getting a text message and being able to answer that without having to leave their application.

Funny thing is that jailbroken phones can do that, my buddy can answer an email or text message without ever leaving his current app and run multiple apps at the same time without losing his progress via add-ons with Cydia so the phones and one would think the iPad would both be able to do this....for some reason Apple isn't allowing it to function that way right out of the box....

I haven't had too much of a need for multitasking on my phone yet. I use the iPod which is one of the few that does multitasking (only because it was developed by Apple) and most games or whatever I play are coded well enough that they stop cleanly and usually pause if something comes up like a text message or I want to check my email or something. Not that I don't want multitasking but it wasn't a deal breaker for me when I got my 3Gs.

Printing will be in the next iPad. And Steve Jobs will act like Apple also invented printing.

Kabuki, explain urself fool

and I don't want any jibba jabba!!!!

I guess there is a way to print. I am fail. Here are the very simple instructions:

Seriously though, if you're looking to print, you're going to be relying on 3rd party apps. There is no native support in the OS.

I remember the press conference where Steve Jobs played the "They're digging in the wrong place" clip from Raiders and proclaimed that the competition's attempts to put video playback on portable media devices was pointless and that the public really didn't have that much video content stored on their computers anyway--so they simply unveiled the iPod photo instead. Despite that, I think the video capable iPod was out within a year. I might get my wife an iPad next year when they finally add some of the missing features from the first generation.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

I'm gonna hold out for the 3g version. Hopefully the 2.0 has a usb port, camera, and more memory.

Me too and it's kinda lame. I guess I could also be watching a 13" TV but I sure as hell not going to. Now I'll have a bigger screen and keypad. I guess I'll use my phone for...calls? I'm sure I'll still use it when I'm on the go but no longer in the house.

The worst thing about lying in bed and browsing the web with my iPhone is that when you turn over on your side, the stupid screen reorients itself "right side up," which is sideways to my resting head. I wish you could turn off the orientation feature for times like that.

There's a switch on the iPad for that. I'm assuming that the next iPhone will have one too.
