I had the original Palm Vx. I would never use a stylus because it makes nothing easier, except drawing. The stylus is sort of a gimmick. If you need to get serious work done and you are serious enough to need a stylus, the iPhone and iPad are not for you. As Elton Brown would say 'there is no room in the kitchen for multitaskers.' They do a bad job at many things.
Touch unlock, however, is already in use by someone's grandpa... it's clean, it's easy. It's not multitasking. It's making the current norm safer and faster.
- theguycalledtom 13y ago> makes nothing easier, except drawing Exactly. Drawing includes illustration and annotation. Two things that make communicating faster and easier. As the old saying goes, a picture paints a thousand words.

- theguycalledtom 13y agoEveryone uses a pen.
- samelliot 13y agoThe palm vx, did not have a capacitive touch screen with an interface designed for touch. Adding pen support to the iPad does not affect the interface. I'm not sure how your comment is relevant to the conversation?

- lotso 13y agoI wouldn't say adding pen input would make the iPad a multitasking device.
- coldtea 13y agoHe doesn't mean it in the CS "multitasking" sense. He means it would try to be two things at the same time (a painting surface and a regular tablet), a "jack of all trades, master of none" thing.
- theguycalledtom 13y agoThe iPad has already mastered touch tableting. Adding a digitiser does not change that.
- tedsanders 13y agoCorrection: Alton Brown says there is no room in the kitchen for UNItaskers (except fire extinguishers). He's actually a huge fan of multitaskers!
- headShrinker 13y agoYou are correct. Yikes, I got that one wrong.
