why the ipad may not be a hit

The i pad has finally arrived and claims that it's "more intimate that a laptop,and it's so much more capable than a smart-phone."comparing it with Apple's own smart phone,the i phone,and what to do we see a large screen we now have a larger keyboard,a larger screen enables-beter use of productivity software-kind of like an i pod avatar in a larger body.


Sure,the faster processor means it is more capable technically.The nexus one itself features a 1GHZ processor,and does not come with the shackles surrounding the i phone OS store.when comparing it with the iphone you come to realize that the ipad is just an over sized i phone which can't make calls.


The discards netbooks as cheap laptops,yet the ipad is still to show any multitasking capabilities,Better that a netbook rally?The ipad fails to be better that even an iphone.


So here are 10 reasons why we think the ipad may not be so hot:


1.No multitasking.Rember,it's meant to be better than a netbook.



2.no Flash support."The best web experience";indeed.


3.screen is not widescreen.Well,innovation sometimes takes us a few steps backwards.


4.no HD output.Who watches HD these days anyway?


5.no camera.so much for video chat.


6.no USB port.Don't want to be too much like a netbook now do we?


7.no SD card slot.cause 64 GB ought to be enough for anybody.


8.Essential peripherals sold extra:keyboard,USB,SD card dongles,each sold for $30!


9.Another iphone-like operating system.Read closed system.


10.you need to pay $10 per app for the iwork productivity applications suite.



Even so ,the ipad has a chance for success,and for many of the same reasons that the iphone is a success.It is a beautiful product,with a dedicated developer community which just won't give up despite the constant abuse.


It has hundreds of thousand of applications which give it an edge over new platforms which have lesser application.


Apple may not done any thing new here,but just given a more of the good old stuff that they already know works.
