Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"We need a digital camera that can be switched on and fire off that first shot fast. It's not a commonly tracked statistic on any review site, and nobody seems to have this information for every camera. We were hoping other readers could inform us as to what small digital cameras can fire off their first pics in under a second (ideally under half a second). It needs to be small, but mostly, just really quick in operation. Thanks!"
"start to make this thing seem less like a giant iPhone"
START to? Isn't that the first thing EVERYONE thought when this was first introduced?
@Prevacator No. Read. The. Title. Again.
and Again.
@Prevacator
He said start to feel LESS like a giant iPhone. Everyone thought it was a giant iPhone and it looks like it could be more than that after all. It could also turn out to be expensive wifi enabled poop too. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
@Prevacator
Comprehension fail. I deserve a downrank for that seeing as I can't just delete it.
@Vincent Hahahaha :)
@Prevacator You get an uprank for being friendly to your community at expense of your own reputation!
Looks like iPad is carving its own niche! It didn't look very promising at first but I want Apple to make a good product even if I'm not a major fan of them!
@Zer0Kage
I think we all want Apple to make a good product. I also think that we'd all wished multi-tasking was some kind of option.
I mean, come on: you could tap that bar at the top and show all open apps in some horizontal bar, or with an Expose effect or SOMETHING. On a screen that big, there's no reason not to.
@The Madman the battery. Multi-tasking is not available (save for a few default apps) on apple devices because unlike the handsets that support a multi-tasking OS, iPhones, iPod Touches and iPads don't have a removable battery and this is one of the main reasons why Apple hasn't turned it on except for a few of the default apps... other devices can afford to run out of juice and users can jam in the spare battery to continue working while Apple devices don't have that luxury. The purchase of PA Semi is to alleviate this problem and the new Apple A4 will let them roll out multi-tasking with iPhone OS 4.0 come June. Jailbreakers have multi-tasking from day 1 but the battery takes a substantial hit.
@vjk2005
"The new Apple A4" = an old, licensed ARM chip.
Sick of hearing about the new chip that Apple developed. They didn't do crap except take an ARM chip & strip out most of the I/O.
