And Apple still hasn’t put multitasking into its devices.  I know…right?  Still no multitasking.

If you’re on the market for an ebook reader then the iPad is a strong candidate.  I guess having an ebook would be cool, but I’d end up breaking that beautiful screen 5 minutes after getting it out of the box.  (It looks super-fragile.)  If I didn’t break it, I’d leave it behind on a train or plane.  You do that with a book and you’re out $15.  Do it with an iPad and your out $500-$800.

Nonetheless, I will admit to a slight bit of screen envy.  But iWon’t.  Will you?
