My take on iPad

Well.. No wonder iPad is a truly amazing device... Its one of the another attractive device in the series ever Apple has delivered.. But personally i feel Apple could have done a lot more ground work on the device side and of-course majorly on the OS front before coming up with early launch... Ui what we have seen now is simply stunning... But thats not all of it..

Affirmative front are a thousand reasons which makes me "Go and Get".. But in my purview seeing other factors cannot be eluded.

At 680 Grams in weight, its not gonna be so easy to wave and work. Look at Kindle or Nook. Its just less than half its weight..

Lack of Camera: Now when Apple agreeing to VOIP based calls over 3g network, it looks dull-witted not to have an inbuilt camera.

No MAC OS X- : It has the iPhone OS 3.2 and not Mac OS X. Though the appstore has more than three hundred thousand apps and still growing... most of these apps are suited for small display screens.. It really does not make much of a sense of a separate app concept for this 9.7" display.. A Mac OS X with the Already existing Widget concepts could have done been garnered better advantages along with the strehgth of already existing Unix apps.. This can easily suffice the facebook app or or twitter apa or for the matter of fact..any apps.. and on top of all this..

No Flash: Because of using a smartphone version of OS, currently iPad doesn't have the Flash enabled. this problem would have never come to picture if at all it was a Mac OS X .Its just not about the Youtube flash.. Almost every websites run the flash programs and not rendering these in a 9.7" sexy display is like committing the biggest sin in terms of user experience.

NO Multi tasking: Cant run simultaneously multiple apps at the same time..(iPhone OS 3.2 can only run native apps in Multitasking way.. Not any apps)

No USB, No HDMI:Which generation are we living in!!! The design may seem just seamless. But, you may find it too seamless when you will figure out the number of adapters you would require with it. iPad has no USB ports reportedly. So, whatever you want to use with it camera, printer or even a USB, you would need an adapter for it.

Screen: Though the video shows how sexy the display is.. But when it comes to power consumption , Apple should not have stopped themselves from switching from the LED to OLED technology.. At-least, the battery life could have been extended by more than 30%. 10 hours seems less.


I understand Apple must have thought more than me for my above statements.. The device was not made such that we suit the device.. its the other way that the device suits our way...
I dnt forsee this to be a kindle/Nook killer and something which was unexpected is this has opened up the gates for the other upcoming Android Tablets to fill the gap.
