True, but that's not how most people use their devices.



Right, but some people do. And the people who do, used to be people who don't. And those people became people who do because it was possible. It is a bit worrying to me that so many people will be growing up with devices with such a low "skill ceiling"; devices which don't let your interest in technology bloom but rather restrict what can be imagined.

Yep. Walled gardens kill curiosity.

Curiosity is what got me into this industry, way before I knew it could be a career. Playing around, messing with files that ran my games, making web forums and learning to change how they look.


I think multitasking is the basic operation and these are normal operation. Ipad is seriously limited by Apple wallgarden design.

And, I think many people work like this if it will ever be available in wall gardened ipad.
