I-pad was one of the most awaited gadget of the year, it was expected to revolutionize the Netbooks and Tablet-Pcs. Ipad was well marketted, Not even the name 'ipad' was a secret before the launch . Apple did their best as usual marketting it the evangelist way.Everybody was talking , tweeting and Blogging about the most awaited surpise that they had in the Apple Store..."It was all over the internet"
On 27 January 2008, Apple Corporation had the official launch of Ipad, which almost disapointed almost everybody even the frantic apple worshipers. It turned out that the Much awaited surprise turned out to nothing but to a bigger ipod touch. It does everything that the new generation Ipod touch and lacks:
1. A camera: I really didn't know if they forgot to include it when they designed it . Yea Even I don't see a point in holding it high and taking photos, but what about video chatting?
2. Multi-tasking : Now a days when even phones come with multitasking facility, how can you pay 700 for a tablet without multitasking . We have been shouting this from our roof tops quite a while now , I was hoping that At least Iphones3GS would come with Multi tasking and Flash support, But No!!! same goes for Ipad! Is it really becuase, the processors cant take the load ??? :P
3. It's not a Mac : Seriously when I heard about the plans , I honestly thought that it's going to ba a Mac integrated into one single piece.
4. Apple boast that you can browse internet using it, Sincerely what is the point when you dont have flash support and almost half the internet is FLASH??? As I said, Iphones, Ipod touch , Now Ipad, I dont know what does Apple have against Flash and Multi tasking?
5. Adding more data, Is impossible, It doesnt have an MMC slot or you cannot connect an external Hard drive.
6. A phone function could have been good
7. HDMI Ports are Missing; If you want to watch your HD videos There is no way...
Ipad looks cute, hell Yea... That's what apple products are famous for 'Aesthetics'.
It supports Iphone apps, Plays games [i would rather get a PS3 or a PSP- for portability sake]... Yea right... what else???
Ask me honestly:It a result of bad design [am not talking about the looks] hopefully they come out with the Next generation with all these fixed.
.It's not a phone, Its no a Mac, It's not a pod then what is it??? It's nothing but an over sized media player....I-sad!!!!!
P.S: Guys Watch out for ADAM; It really is a Ipad Killer!!!
Cudnt agree more on this...a lot of things missed out on this great looking device!
Thanks for the comments Vishal, hopefully they 'll come out with a better version with all those falws rectified!!!
MAN.. You are spot on.. but there are still people around giving bells and whisles for the same.. But honestly i still couldnt see where to fit this product. I ve been a big apple fan.. but not for this product (atleast for this release). Its a product which finds a tough position to fit for anyones need. I see it like a advanced and stylised kindle which can browse net..
i am really hoping they go back to their drawingboard and get the next version to the usual wow factor..
I echoed the same in my blog too.. check this out..
