There's a kind of keyboard area that comes up for using it. Some apps on the iphone already provide for it. I think it's just a matter of time before the capability is cross-app, like the keyboard. |
Yeah that could solve itself--if the writing with a capacitive stylus is precise enough for someone with small and sloppy hand writing like me. And if it allows me to do all the handwriting I'd need to in all the apps I need--PDF files, word files, notepad for taking notes, ability to mark up e-books etc.

The absence of multitasking in the situation you describe is an illusion. You are not doing two things at once - you are merely switching back & forth between two things very fast. So long as the reading app and the browsing app open & close (1) fast and (2) at the page you left, you can multitask in that sense just by moving back & forth between the apps. So it's mainly a psychological thing.

There's just no way that you could save what you were reading and marking up, close the program and open another app to look up something online etc. as quick as switching between simultaneously running programs. I'm 100% about convenience when it comes to work related stuff. If I'm going to buy a tablet for work--it has to fit what I want it to do 100% or I'm not shelling out the cash.

I'm certainly no techie, but from what I've been reading, flash is goingto die out. Apparently, lots of people already disable flash in their browsers.

Possibly. But it hasn't yet so some video sites I use regularly wouldn't work right now. It might be a non-issue down the road if flash dies or there are apps for the flash video sites I use etc.
