Tablet computers: Apple iPad is perfect, isn’t it?

Apple iPad has really attracted a lot of attention during these last days, as usual with any Apple launch. But some critics think the iPad is not so great and cool… among others, they argue these issues:

* Apple iPad doesn’t support multitasking. You only can run one application at a time.

* Flash is not supported. Ouch! Do you know how many websites include flash out there? Yes, an enormous number!

* Believe it or not, there is no cameras on the iPad. Come on!  It’s not 1990 anymore. However, some reports claim that the iPad Hardware would have a potential slot for a camera. Maybe we have to wait for another version.

* There is no HDMI output. Hmmm. So, this latest and modern computer  cannot be connected to your new TV. At least by using that port.

* Unbelievable! The Apple iPad doesn’t have USB ports.  So, you will need special adapters. Yep! Even your old PC is better than the iPad in this field.

* Some people say the touch keyboard is  slow, not very useful, and uncomfortable. Ok, maybe this point is subjective… or maybe not!

* The internal memory is limited and you can’t increase it. So, please think carefully before buying an iPad. You need to know what capacity is enough for you: At this time, there are iPad versions with 6, 32, and 64 Gb.

So,  is Apple iPad a fiasco? Not really, it is a great step toward a new way of working with  computers but, of course, it is not perfect and there is a huge space for many improvements.

yeah I agree. Multi-tasking is needed for the ipad, the idea of only running one app at a time is just not good.
