I bring mine to life and bring up BB News, Crackberry, Facebook, Twitter, App World and the local Mugshots website. I then wait about 30 seconds for them all to come to life and then leisurely take my time going through each one.
Recently got a Kindle Fire. IMO, doesn't even come close. The Fire is great for Netflix and Amazon Prime, but that's where it ends. Hopefully with 2.0., I can retire the Fire for good as a gift to the less fortunate.
The multitasking on the PB is second to none! The only time I ever run out of memory on it is when I did my own stress test to see what it could handle. I think it started closing apps on it's own at around 10 or 11 all open at once while running in showcase mode. My netbook can't handle 4 even close to as well!
He would have the HDMI output to his TV in presentation mode to watch the video. This would allow him to continue posting on Crackberry at the same time.
