Apple iPad
I watched multiple screens doing instant reviews of the new Apple iPad, and on first blush I came away dazzled by the systems sleek UI, compact size and broad functionality.
Now that the dust has settled, I like others writing reviews, are starting to have a few mixed feeling and just wish Apple had not left out a few very important features. What follows below are a few of the primary complaints about the iPad:
1) The touch keyboard. Looks really hard to use seeing how the tablet has no desk based orientation. I know they have an attachable keyboard, and I understand why they had to include one. But…
2) No Camera
3) No Multitasking. Apple has been promising this for the iPhone for years and it was simply amazing that it was not included on a computer in this form factor.
4) Adapters. Not much included in the way of adapters. Seems we will have this cool 1.5 pound tablet and 9 pounds of cables, cameras, and assorted attachments.
5) No video out. Huge miss here and something found in the tiniest of cameras.
That touches on a few of the complaints I see spinning the web and other media. Do I think it will inhibit the device from adoption? NO Do I see Apple making hardware and software enhancements at a scale quicker than other Apple products? YES
And not the big question.
Will I be buying one for myself, as a self confirmed Apple homer… Of course. It is so completely outstanding on the book and in-device media front, that I could see myself dragging this on the plane hands down over other devices, including those I already own from Apple.
