This coming from a site which was saying for years that Apple would be releasing a mobile phone and tablet (until they eventually did). Every damned WWDC/Macworld they would reiterate the rumor until it happens.<p>Furthermore, its quite clear the article has no credibility when the author writes garbage like "Gaming has largely failed to take off on other mobile platforms because titles are limited to simplistic experiences, as they must either run in a poorly-performing layer of abstraction (such as .. Java/Android Dalvik runtimes...). Apparently the writer has never heard of the NDK, and isn't aware that there is no reason why Dalvik couldn't eventually run as fast as native code. Furthermore, I doubt the author has spoken to a single Android gaming developer..<p>I used to work at an Apple Premium reseller, and I've heard enough crap from Appleinsider that has been OBVIOUSLY wrong throughout the ages. They don't have any credibility, and I'm curious why people treat them with such respect. In fact, I'd say its pretty obvious they own stocks in Apple so CANNOT be a neutral party.<p>Yes, multitasking might come eventually. But from experience, you'd have to be crazy to trust these guys. The fact is, everyone is thinking the same thing anyway (because its a MAJOR complaint about the iPad), and if it doesn't happen, AppleInsider will just shrug it off as delayed (as they normally do). AppleInsider Rumors are nothing more than educated guesses generally, or based on information which is available to every Apple reseller. I've never seen any information proven correct though that suggests it was leaked by an "insider"
For an Apple-centric site, their mobile interface is quite annoying. It obscures ~1/3 of the content until you begin scrolling and then the nav bars disappear until you stop scrolling only to reappear. To make matters worse, clicking the button to use the full site dumps you on the main page, not on the article you were reading.
