To recap:
-No flash
-no multitasking
-iPhone OS, not full OSX
-locked to iTunes
-no camera, front or back
-have to buy a dongle for anything remotely useful
-higher price than most netbooks
-Not a true tablet in that it has no keyboard
-screen ratio leaves huge boarders for widescreen movies
-closed App ecosystem, “apple knows best” approach
Honestly, other than potential future apps, I cannot see any reason to pay more than a netbook for this.
No camera for video chat
No flash support.
No multitasking
LCD screen not for reading
Battery life 1/4 that of serious E-books
No expandable memory
John Markoff is an apple fanboy, tell me how this is a “Kindle killer” and Amazon should be worried when you cant even read outside, for more than 10 hours without charge and without scratching your eyes out.
And this is most certainly NOT the ultimate web browsing experience without flash.
as someone else blogged, “most of Apple’s products are better than other company’s successes”. I just wish it had been called an `itab’ rather than `ipad’ …
well.. thu’ I have a cell phone and I have a laptop too, but I’m sure as hell gettin me an ipad.. I won’t be carryin any more books or my laptop to college.. it’s just a great device not bigger then a copy book..
