For gods sake. iPhone OS 4 will be revealed later this week and AT&T still hasn’t provided us with the legitimate data tethering plan they promised us last year. WTF. If Verizon can offer a Palm Pré Plus with wifi tethering for a decent price I’m hoping that AT&T can follow suit and offer something competitive. Perhaps this all lies with Apple and they aren’t willing to field complaints about loss of battery life. It doesn’t matter who has the answer to the question, what matters is that it’s been almost a year and we still haven’t received something that was promised.

It would seem that I’m likely to be a minority in this thought but I’m currently appreciating the lack of multitasking in the iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch.

I recently purchased an iPad along with Pages, Apple’s word processing app. It occurred to me, in the course of prepping for a research paper, that I would not be able to skim back and forth from a web browser to my document as easily as I would be able to on my laptop. At first glance I thought this would be an issue but soon realized that without the distraction of the internet I could actually be more productive with my writing. Another side effect of this is greater retention for the subject of my paper. I would actually be required to spend the 8-10 seconds remembering what I just read about and not just quickly darting back and forth between browser and document like I would normally. It’s anyones guess as to how this will pan out but as for me? I like it.
