Yes, you're right, I completely missed the point, but only because I've never heard the argument that only Macs can display many simultaneous video windows.
It's not really an argument. It's more like a general belief among mac users, hence the first portion of the video. The person who uploaded that video clearly believed that PCs couldn't open many folders at once without crashing.

Well, I think I had the same problem Larni did - after a 4 hour download, it wouldn't update. My suspicion is that iit has something to do with how the firmware image is signed.
Nope. The failure to update is due to your device not being able to get verification from apple server, and that is due to dos attack on the apple server by apple's army of whiners.
Your best bet is to wait a couple days before trying again. There are already reports of permanent brickages on some unfortunate souls' idevices.
That said, don't you think iOS 5 looks a bit too much like android? Apple fanboys have been cheering for apple's newest innovations, you know, innovations like the notification bar... I mean notification center and the thumb keyboard... I mean the iOS 5 split keyboard.
I'd give them some slack if it weren't for the fact that apple's been on a suing spree against their competitors over patent rights.

Can your ipad do this?
This is the reason why I went with the android tablet.
1080p movie top left. Windowed web browser bottom left. Music album top right. Excel spreadsheet bottom right.

Re: Can your ipad do this?
As always, you completely missed my point. I can make the excel window full size. I can make it so there's only 2 windows so that I can do some editing on one side while looking up my references on the other side. I can also have floating windows where I can resize, move around, or minimize at will.
You seem to have trouble understanding the power of choice, something that you iOS users have been deprived of since the beginning and so can't see the significance in it.
My tablet isn't a media consumption device. My $250 tablet is used for netflix, work, presentation, internet, 1080p movies on my big screen tv, etc. Your $500 tablet is only good for media consumption.
And yeah, I have an hdmi port, micro sdcard port, regular size sdcard port, and 2 usb ports built into my device. You have to go through itunes for everything you do. Absolutely zero ports. But wait, its got an apple brand on there, so it must be better than everything else...

Re: Can your ipad do this?
Haha, feeling the heat already?
I must admit that I was feeling argumentative after having debated a room full of ipad owners.
