Many waited in line for the release of Apple’s “revolutionary” Tablet PC, the IPAD. But many, too, shrugged their shoulders with indifference and dissatisfaction over the fact that this device is not omnipotent to deliver his promise. Well, these two opposing views clearly show how people are polarized with IPAD. Let’s take a look at some things that a not-so-hot item IPAD do for some.
IPAD 2.0 will be in few weeks, so why bother?
This is a big problem. The current published IPAD is a great disappointment to many, and that does not help much with Apple’s efforts to its latest Tablet PC is a big hit. Whether the frustrations of the general public – techies, mostly – are justified or not, it does still hurt Apple’s sales. It still, in many respects, quite a huge number of people are discouraged from buying the product.
But at the beginning of this theme is the expectation that Apple is a new version, improved version in the near future. (Maybe this time, would IPAD is integrated with a camera.) People tend to prefer the improved version that is a lot of waiting a much improved version of the predecessor’s expected offer. Following this line of thought, people would rather wait a year or two as their Dole more than $ 500 on a device that will soon be replaced.
It does not support Flash.
Ok, big deal. Apple seems to be a matter for Adobe Flash, a standard on the network have. Flash is what built the most sites and rich media with. It is the program, the videos, audios and games that the online world is saturated. But Apple does not seem to like. The company draws a more stable, less vulnerable to hacking platform. He draws his own HTML5. It only makes perfect sense that all Apple products – IPAD included – runs on this platform and not on Flash.
What most people know, however, is not quite get that almost all websites on the Internet using Adobe Flash. For end users this means that when you visit websites with the Safari browser IPAD – glorious and beautiful as it is there – it has some problems that may be encountered. Big problems. No Hulu and HBO for now, buddy.
No integrated camera. Na ah.
Before Steve Jobs officially unveiled IPAD to the public, everyone thought it is not a needs-is that Apple connect a camera to the device. IPAD Apparently not wear one and it seems no clear indication that is will have a 2.0 IPAD. For now, IPAD can not be used for snapshots of yourself, or for making video calls via Skype or YM.
You only get to multi-task when running Apple’s native applications.
IPAD is running on iPhone OS’s, fine. What is wrong is that the same limitations are experienced on the iPhone with the IPAD. Say goodbye to multitasking.
If you are a regular user, and if you nothing but a sophisticated, multi-functional multimedia player / toy / laptop hybrid IPAD see, 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 a video call on Skype.
