^Thus the saying "kill two birds with one stone"- now THAT'S multitasking
Now I wouldn't say I hate macs, you are deluding yourself if you just blindly hate them and refuse to have anything to do with them, as MacOSX is actually quite a good OS.... but I am sick of hearing the fanboys prattle on about their mac/iphone/whatever. Seriously, some of these guys would buy a little baggie of dog shit for hundreds of dollars if it had the mac logo on it.
I don't have an ipod mainly because iTunes is a bloated piece of shit, and I like my media players to simply function in USB mass storage mode so I can drag and drop files there without worrying about stupid DRM crap. That's why I've stuck with my samsung MP3/WMa/OGG player

And the ipad is a waste of money... seriously why would you bother. Wait for the HP slate, it looks heaps better, has USB and is cheaper. But then I don't know why you wouldn't just buy a cheap netbook for even less that will do everything one of these tablets will do
Also Steve Jobs is a wanker... he used to work for Atari before they started apple. Atari said if he redesigned their circuit boards they'd pay $50 for each chip they removed from the design. He outsourced to Steve Wozniak (who was the real brains behind the applce computers) and told him that they'd split the payout from atari. Wozniak removed 50 chips from the design. Atari paid Jobs $5000 but Jobs told Wozniak that they only got paid $700 so Woz ended up with $350. He didn't find out till years later when Wozniak was talknig to Nolan Bushnell (guy who founded atari) who asked what he did with his $2500.....
Basically Jobs is a prick. He probably stole his new liver from orphans or something
