as opposed to Multitasking with only one app open at a time?]]>Oct 13th 2009 11:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-palm-pre-for-dummies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-palm-pre-for-dummies/Oct 14th 2009 3:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-palm-pre-for-dummies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-palm-pre-for-dummies/

Do people need to learn how to "multi-task with more than one app open at a time"? Isn't that inherent?]]>Oct 13th 2009 7:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-palm-pre-for-dummies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-palm-pre-for-dummies/Oct 13th 2009 7:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-palm-pre-for-dummies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-palm-pre-for-dummies/
I think at some point Engadget should consider itself a professional publication, whether it likes to or not, and then abide by a code of journalistic integrity. I could be off here, but this and other instance of 'buy our writer's book' hits me as weird. It'd be like a journo from Wired writing an article for their site saying, "buy my new bluetooth embedded Sham-wow!".

But like I said, I could be off on this...

Anyway, congrats Chris. As someone who has written a few computer books, you will never forget that first time you walk into a B&N or Borders and see yours on the shelf.]]>Oct 13th 2009 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-palm-pre-for-dummies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-palm-pre-for-dummies/Oct 13th 2009 7:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-palm-pre-for-dummies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-palm-pre-for-dummies/I come here for links, as journalism here is seldom present.

The next time I see an honest writer on a major news network will be the first. Every journalist has an agenda and many are for profit. I don't see anything wrong with Engadget promoting Chris' work.]]>Oct 13th 2009 8:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-palm-pre-for-dummies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-palm-pre-for-dummies/
JJ got upranked because it was hilarious. I personally don't read the byline very often except when I have a major problem with the article and I don't know you. So that's good, I think?

The apps are weak, the keyboard sucks, the screen is small, the gestures don't always work, if feels cheap, has sharp edges (we used a demo model to open a box at our store), and the UI just doesn't flow as well as they make it seem.

Sure, it can multitask. But it's really not doing much with it... and probably never will, no matter how much they want to be Apple (even going so far to make their USB key look like an iPod, despite being scolded by the USB IF). ]]>Oct 13th 2009 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-palm-pre-for-dummies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-palm-pre-for-dummies/
