The iPad doesn't have enough RAM.

What's the damage, 256MB? Damage being the operative word. My Safari on the Mac will happily chunk off a gig given a few tabs, clearly such a paltry amount of RAM for the whole device isn't going to cut it.

The result? When you've got multiple pages open and you're switching between them they keep refreshing. Now, all you hateful creatures on your 20mbps ADSL or even faster noodle optics from Virgin probably care very little about ...

Today brings news that banks are lending less to business customers yet again. What a surprise.

When I got my replacement iPhone 4 I was a little anxious about, well, using it. Perhaps it was just a reflex learned through having shards of glass stuck in my thumbs, but for a good five days the thing barely came out of my pocket compared to before the tarmac 'incident', and when it did it was in its bumper.
