You can't multi-task between apps. For example right now I'm typing to you via Chrome, but I also have Tweetdeck up and seeing the other iPad chatter. You can't do that on an iPhone or an iPad. BTW, I also have southpark running in another tab :)

Linear is just that...linear. Although I guess what I'm getting at is there is no alternative means for doing things. For example on my Macbook Pro I can launch a PDF by double clicking on it, right clicking and choosing open, dragging it to Acrobat, etc. I have multiple options. With the iPad OS you are limited.
