A PAD WITHOUT A PENCIL



As Apple releases its latest "magical" device, a closer look reveals a host of shortcomings that may have Apple going back to the drawing pad.

The Huffington Post recently released "The Nine Worst Things About The iPad".

1-It's name. Sounds like a tampon product
2-No Multi-tasking
3-No Camera
4-No USB port
5-The AT&T deal. Major complaints concerning coverage.
6-No Flash. Forget about Online gaming, ESPN or Disney.
7-Its Screen. LED is harsh on the eyes and drains batteries faster than OLED.
8-The Price. For a limited use machine it's overpriced at $499 and up.
9-Closed App Store. Must pass Apple approval process that limits certain apps.
10-Every pad needs a pencil.

The video that follows puts it best. Hilarious. But oh so true!

Bet you they sell a ton of them, and I'll bet you the next hardware upgrade or 2.0 version will have 6 or 7 of those missing complaints.

Harry,
I am hoping you're right. As an iPhone user I would like to see Jobs hit another home run with the iPad.

At least ATT just announced an increased investment of $2B to beef up their network in NY and SF.

Cheers,
Paul

She has no multi-tasking , no flash after all. That's a bit iPod Touch.

love to see this discussion! It’s great to see you all working through the issues and also, it’s great to see recommendations for testing. In the end, it’s what your actual users do and prefer that should be your biggest driver in making these decisions.
