Re: Can your ipad do this?
Haha, feeling the heat already?

I must admit that I was feeling argumentative after having debated a room full of ipad owners.

Taz, the chip on your shoulder about your Transformer is so large I'm worried I'll get keyboard splinters. Again, what's the deal here? You came at me specifically, talking about "my" iPad when you know I don't even have one.
​
What's going on with you?

Re: Can your ipad do this?
Why would I want to listen to music while I'm watching a movie?
Why would I want to watch a movie while I'm working in Excel?
Why would I want to work in Excel while I'm surfing the internet?

Why would I want to listen to music while I'm watching a movie while working in Excel and surfing the internet!?

...

Replace "watching a movie" with "participating in this forum" and add "configuring a fiber connection to a SAN on a VMWare host cluster" and "setting up a laptop" to the list, and that's what I'm doing right now.
​
I do the movie watching at home. And then replace the Excel with "playing WoW."

You're doing all that on a tablet?

Does fapping in the shower count?

Re: Can your ipad do this?

​
No. But your question was "why would I want to do all those things at once," not "why would I want to do all those things at once on a tablet."
​
And I could do it all on my Kindle Fire...
​
...by using it to remote control my PC.

Re: Can your ipad do this?
I thought the context and subtitle was enough to know we're talking about tablets.... but oh well. Anyways, you didn't answer my question:
​
Does fapping while showering count as multitasking?

Re: Can your ipad do this?
Yes, essentially, but to be truly impressive you'd have to be working on Excel at the same time.
