True, the company i worked for a while back made apps for the appstore. The approval process is ridiculous and very strict. Anything that isn't to their standards is removed instantly. And their standards are crazy.

By the way, Apple announced they invented multitasking. Well, everyone else already had it on their gadgets but Apple said their way of multitasking is better then the competition (i call it multitasking 2.0 :P). The new generation iphones will have this new feature. How not unexpected that its just to late for the first gen Ipads :lol: .

NEWS FLASH - APPLE INVENTS PERSONAL COMPUTER! (86 months after first desktop)

NEWS FLASH - APPLE INVENTS MP3 PLAYER! (18 months after first mp3 player is on market)

NEWS FLASH - APPLE INVENTS EBOOK READER! (24 months after kindle release)

NEWS FLASH - APPLE INVENTS MULTITASKING!!!

wait, what? I'm used to Apple taking credit for every device they didn't invent but made more attractive, or something...
disclosure - *I have no idea why anybody buys apple products, explanations welcome*

But did they really claim a cognitive process as an invention this time?

Not really, i read it on a dutch review site where they put it exactly like you just did. I just read the official press release and its not that bad.

Its still shameful it took them so long to include it though.

LMAO!! This might be the quote of the decade. We'll see how 2019 turns out but ****'in A. Cultural relevance should count for something.
That's gonna be hard to top.

Same here, man...I love Ubuntu. :)

And emate and jayl0ve, I'm pretty much with you guys...I fail to see the point of the iPad and most Apple products in general. They all pretty much give off that "Useless Thing That Everyone Else Has" vibe.

If you want an iPad that badly, I'd really suggest waiting for next year's version that is more stable, functional, and also cheaper.
