However I read a few reports later about the possible timing of shipping the units coinciding with the SDK event. Maybe iPhone OS 4.0 will have some multi-tasking stuff associated with the iPad. Right now it looks like the SDK has some iPad only stuff like pop-overs. Actually from the hands-on responses from the people at the event they did say that it did not handle Multi-tasking.

I had no opportunity to download the sdk last night, so perhaps there are clues in there (that I wouldn't be able to talk about anyway because of the NDA), but the iPad looks to run a superset of the iPhone OS, right? Is it a stretch to think these "missing" features will trickle down then? Jobs couldn't talk about anything iPhone because that would have detracted from the iPad and he needed that device to take all te glory (he barely even mentioned past successes to build up to the iPad). I dunno... silly pre-coffee banter perhaps. I also didn't watch the video (what kind of geek am I??), was the NYT a new singular app (as opposed to an Apple app that displayed NYT content and formatting) or was it a website (saved as a Homescreen icon)?

No multi-tasking. With the most powerful processor Apple has ever put out, why wouldn't I want to listen to Pandora and surf the web at the same time? I will buy generation 2 (or 3 or 4).
