[kjbninja]

It’s official! The long awaited and highly speculated Apple Tablet has been announced. The name you ask? iPad. Out of all the names floating around the interwebs this was not one of them and totally not as cool! Come on Apple! Like some of the cooler names on the net such as iSlate(Personal favourite) and iTablet. I wonder if they got the name from this

No flash which just about every web page on the net uses(including Mobile ninjas) and no multitasking. Are you ****ing kidding me. $500 for something that can't even multitask!?!?!?!

you can't play music and surf the web at the same time, even Windows 3.1 could do that.
