Apple tablet PC- the iPad

Many waited in line for the release off Apple's 'revolutionary' tablet PC, the iPad. But many, too, shrugged their shoulders with indifference and dissatisfaction over the truth that this almighty device would not do exactly what it says it going to do. Well, these two opposing views clearly show how polarized people are with iPad. Let us take a look at a few things that make iPad a not-so- hot item for some. iPad 2.0 will be around soon, so why bother?
This is a big issue. The currently released iPad is a big disappointment for numerous and that does not make a difference much with Apple's efforts to make its newest tablet PC a big hit. Whether the disappointments of the general public   techies, mostly   are justified or not, it still hurts Apple's sales. It still, in a few ways, discouraged quite a large amount of people from buying the items. But on top of this issue is the expectation that Apple will release a new, upgraded version soon. (Perhaps this period, iPad will incorporate a inherent camera.) People would rather wait for the upgraded version, which many expect will provide a substantially improved version of its predecessor. Following this line of thinking, people would prefer wait for one full year or two than dispense their more than $500 on a gadget that will soon be replaced.

It doesn't support Flash.Ok, big deal. Apple seems to possess a thing for Adobe's Flash, an ordinary on the internet. Flash is what most sites and rich media are built with. It's the program that runs videos, audios and games that have saturated the Internet world. But Apple seem not to like it. The company prefers a more stable, less susceptible to hack platform. It prefers its own HTML5. It only makes perfect sense that all Apple's products   iPad included   runs on this platform and not on Flash. What the majority of people don't quite get though is that nearly all sites on the internet use Adobe Flash. For the end users, this implies that when visiting web sites using iPad's browser, Safari   glorious and enjoyable as it is   there would still be some problems that may be encountered. Big problems. No Hulu and HBO at the moment, buddy. No inherent camera. Na ah.Before Steve Jobs formally presented iPad to the public, everyone thought it's a no-brainer that Apple will attach a camera to the device. Apparently, iPad doesn't carry one and there seems to be no clear indication that iPad 2.0 will have one. At the moment, iPad can't be used for taking snapshots of yourself or for manufacturing video calls over Skype or YM. You only get to multitask when running Apple's native applications.iPad runs on iPhone's OS, fine. What is not alright though is that the same limitations on iPhone are experienced with the iPad. Say so long to multitasking. If you are a regular user and if you see iPad as nothing more than a sophisticated, multifunctioning multimedia player/toy/laptop hybrid, it will not be much of a problem. But if you live your life online, you will be stumped. There is no way you can listen to iTunes while making a video call using Skype.
