I just replicated the work I was trying to do, and put it on video. The pauses are not 5 seconds, they are 3 seconds going to email, and about 2 seconds when switching to the PDF. Doesn't sound like a lot, but when you are constantly switching back and forth trying to proofread, it is REALLY annoying. I will put it on youtube right now.

It is bad enough to be annoying, otherwise why would I have brought it up? You think I have something against the ipad or something? lol

It just isn't good for productivity, that's all I ever said. It is a toy. A really fucking cool toy, but a toy.

Will edit with video

And regarding that quote, it wasn't an OFFER to make a video. I said I COULD if I WANTED. Obviously I didn't WANT to waste time making a video showing the ipad lagging while switching between browsing and reading, etc.

But since you made a video, and people are responding to it with thanks and stupid memes, I have to at least replicate the scenario I was discussing, since it was very specific, frustrating, and REAL unlike your stupid switching back and forth between apps, doing nothing else.

Here's the video, I tried to replicate the work I was doing, using the email app and the same PDF file. You can clearly see the 3 second pause going to email, and about 2 second pause going to the PDF. Imagine dealing with that about 20-30 times over an hour under a deadline. Not fun
