If i were to give you any advice this would be it, do not buy the ipad. At the very least go to a apple store near you and check out the ipad for yourself before running out on  just hype alone. Personally im starting to lose what little apple fanaticism i was starting to have and coming to my senses. Ipad  isn’t something you need its something you want and unlike the iphone i don’t think its going to have the same effect as it did in the mobile world. Here are some of the faults i find with the ipad that has me waiting for Microsoft’s version instead.

Stylus

The ability to write out Or Draw things on the ipad is missing instead they lure you in with the ability to multitouch just like you do on the iphone. But what good is that for productivity? Suuure they add an the ability to connect to the ipad with bluetooth devices like a keyboard but i know light weight tablet laptops that can do much more and still come complete with a stylus. Not making the ipad stylus friendly in my opinion was a big loss for apple in my opinion see as a large amount of people i know only look at apple laptops for video and photo editing capabilities.

Size

I don’t care what anyone says size matters. Closer look at the ipad reveals it’s awkwardly smaller then the ipad displayed in their commercials. Also theres a thick black border around the entire device giving the illusion its bigger then it really is. Most people love this boarding saying that its something to hold on to … but if this was ment for your lap and built to work as such why would there need to be a boarder? even if u had to grab it i feel it would be aesthetically pleasing  to continue the video screen to the edge and not the touch sensors so that you could still grip the ends without setting off an event but then again i guess it will take a rocket scientist to figure this out

Flash or lack there of

With html5 on it’s way flash seems to not even be as much of an issue as everyone is making it out to be. Although i think that flash is not the issue it’s just the poster boy for what really is everyone’s gripe about apple in general. does the word neo nazis ring a bell? yea i know thats a little extreme but with apple’s ever showing will to keep there product locked down tighter then the fat patrol on guard the day kevin smith decided he wanted to fly south by south west there is little room for innovation. Its not the fact that they wont let flash on the iphone it’s how they went about it as if the iphone was a privilege not a right. You get what they give you and you will like it.

Implement the costumer’s wishes

You would thing that with all the crying about forward facing camera apple would get it but alas this concept has evaded them like splinter cell. The concept of the forward facing camera was video chat for some reason the ceos think that video chat means nothing. Has phreadz.com teached them anything what about seesmic.tv? at the very least stickam as much as they where charging for an over grown iphone you would think that they would add a camera somewhere but were left with a downgraded version of the iphone stretched out just a little to create the ipad.
i was hoping for something more the i7 mobile cpu is in the market now and mobile gpu graphics cards are getting better take for example

mx11 from alienware it’s just not feasible to be an early adopter for ipad specialy when you cant even figure out what to use it for. When you have to ask yourself why is this worth it usually it isn’t worth it at all.

If anything look at the tablet from microsoft named courier. If the ipad was half of what this can do i would already own it and this is what i believe a tablet should be like. But who knows who will come out on top for the first time though im putting my money on microsoft.
