Comment on Say Hello To The Palm Touchpadparent

I hate multitasking on my iPad. This is really a breath of fresh air.

A typical day on my iPad:

- surf surf surf, mostly reddit while waiting.

- kabling goes Apple's shit-tastic notification system. My friend has IM'ed me! Tap on button to chat with him. If I dismiss it without switching apps, the notification is gone forever.

- slooooooow switching between apps. Wait wait wait.

- oh but wait, since there isn't real multitasking, wait even more for my IM app to reconnect. Then download my message.

- finally, chatting with my friend.

WTF Apple.

Also, I go to sleep and my Exchange calendar gives me a bunch of notifications overnight. I wake up in the morning and have to hit "Close" on 20 notification messages stacked together before I can even use my device.
