Ugh god I just tried to find the article which cites lack of addons (keyboard etc) as a possible reason why sales have not been as fast adn cam across some horror:

This:

A protective case that adds a keyboard. This has been my argument all along, fair enough on a fone, where, adding a keyboard would incread thickness, but what's the point in not having one, if you already need a bag to carry the thing around?

And then this, which attempts to debunk the 'shortcomings':

" 7: Still no multitasking. Here’s a suggestion: focus on the task at hand instead of juggling? More to the point, research is now suggesting that multitasking actually slows us down! I’m not going to hold a device responsible for what neuroscientists say is a shortcoming in human wiring – and neither should you. Pay attention to that which needs it – and nothing more. There are certainly cases for needing more than one app open at a time, but not at the peril of a good (single) app experience. Knowwhatimean? "

Yeah, because it's sooooo much quicker to watch something download, and then start typing a document... Gah I reeeeaaally hate this thing.

Can you tell?
