And those reasons will magically disappear if they offer multitasking some day? Or will the fanboy crowds switch to "well Apple didn't want to do it until they could build a better version of multitasking, and now they have for <insert esoteric implementation reason>."
- glhaynes 17y agoIf they offer multitasking, it will be in a well-thought-out, actually-useful way that doesn't cause you to have to walk grandma through Task Manager or listen to her complain about how her battery life is a quarter what it was before the update.
- elblanco 17y agoYour satire is refreshing. Especially the part where I said "Or will the fanboy crowds switch to "well Apple didn't want to do it until they could build a better version of multitasking, and now they have for <insert esoteric implementation reason>."" And you responded with pretty much exactly what I said, pretending to be a rabid fanboy. Hilarious!!! HN doesn't usually see much humor at all, it's nice to see some, particularly with such a sophisticated wit! Kudos!

- illumin8 17y agoIt depends on whether Apple has a good implementation of multitasking or not. I guess we'll find out later this week during their iPhone OS 4.0 presentation. I'm not a fanboy, just a fan of good software implementation, and Apple has had a pretty good track record so far.
