What do you mean by the iPad terribly? Are you trying to run iPhone apps on the iPad or something? Try running actually tablet optimised apps.

iOS6 runs (albiet with some missing features) on 3GS which is a 3 year old phone. That's a better upgrade path than what most other mobile phone manufacturers offer.

Don't forget...

Sneaking into Apple HQ and steal the most ideas without getting caught.
Most seem-less cover-up of system crash during an on-stage demo.
Number of Word documents that can be written on a Microsoft Surface tablet before running out of battery life.

Of course that vulnerability is only a problem if useless developers don't bother to validate the signatures on Apple's receipts for in-App purchases.

Duh. The test on rats so far showed no side-effects which makes it better than radiation or incinerating the rats to kill the virus.

Try the original Android.

Do you realise how much power that 16:9 CRT draws compared to an LED TV?

iOS has always been a fully preemptive multitasking operating system. It's just whether the app has permission to run as such and Apple have some very stringent requirements to ensure a good user experience and acceptable battery life. There are no technical reasons why iOS should not be considered to not be a multitasking OS. For example, if your app plays music, it can continue to do everything whilst running in the background. Of course, if you do too much non music playback related stuff apple may not accept your app in the AppStore.

When America was an agrarian society, trucks were more popular as they were used on farms.

iPad 2 has a microsim

Erm. The 3.5" iPhone accommodates a finger properly. And if it has a 1024x768 screen (same was as iPad 1 & iPad 2), it will accomodate the apps fine.

You don't think there are already fatalities that are caused by cars and not people? When it happens, eople will accept that on average self driving cars are more reliable and insurance will take care of the lawsuits.

A mouse on an tablet. Good... God.

I ain't getting a tablet until it has a 15" screen, full sized keyboard, touchpad (complete with left and right buttons!), HDMI port, USB port, upgradable ram, hard disk (I need 1TB for my videos)!

Sheesh.

Rushing to market with a feature that's barely functional or usable is not Apple's usual style. At least I have confidence that NFC integration into iPhones is not going to be next to useless like it is on other phones.

There's lots of those apps ...been there for years.

I personally use this one: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/touchpad/id297623931?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4

Use your phone or iPad as a multitouch touchpad for your PC.
