The iPad from Apple

Ok, the newest thing from apple is a little weird, juicy and kinda of cool... But with a name like iPad, you could expect nothing more and nothing less. Speaking of the name.. Why not call it the iTablet, iSlate or iThing? IPad just sounds wrong. It's like calling it iTampon... Speaking of witch ~Yes, I meant to write WITCH! Check out the MadTV spoof on the iPad.



But, seriously lets talk about foresight for a minute, this Mad TV iPad skit aired several years ago... and easily became 10x funnier.

But the name is not the only "turn-off" for this product. so, I am listing a few additional reasons why the iPad may have a problem...

1.) No Multitasking
Are you serious... who thought this was a good idea? How can the iPad even compete with Netbooks if you can’t multitask? - BTW, it's important to understand that this sort of device exists to fill the gap between the mobile smart phone and the laptop. So, with that in mind, consider that if you're writing a document with the iPad you can't listen to music. You can’t have TweetDeck open if you want to check your email. In short, you can only do one thing at a time, which has always been a complaint with the iPhone.

2.) No Camera
Why is there no camera on the iPad, front or back? It's got a microphone… but no camera. Look at the size of the case that surrounds the screen, there is ample space for a camera. The iPad should've at least a 3-megapixel camera built in. As it stands, this means no iChat/Skype chat for you. Simply a poor deliver from Apple.

3.) Huge Ridiculous Adapters
Want to access your camera or plug in something USB… Well there’s an adapter for that, actually 2 separate adapters both excessively huge.

4.) Same Touch Keyboard
The iPad needed to re-revolutionize the keypad for touchscreen devices, make it easier to use. So what did we get... just a larger version of what we already had. It’ll be hard to type on. But there is a book cover for that called the iPad case.

5.) No Adobe Flash capabilities
Really?!... Most of us are probably accustomed to Apple devices not being Flash compatible. Flash is currently installed in 98% of all the Web browsers, but if Apple is truly wanting to compete with other Netbooks they need to remedy this. With a larger screen comes gigantic holes in the middle of webpages.If anyone claims it to be "the best web experience you've ever had" that's just another marketing lye.

Personally, I will wait to get an iPad when and if it becomes up to par.
