I tempted to want an iPad but it doesn’t really do anything.
I can look past the lack of flash and even accept their reasoning but I HAVE to have multitasking and the only reason I would want a tablet is so I can use a pen with it to take notes and draw. I would have snapped one of these up for college if it just had pen input. I also can’t look past the fact that is has NO USB ports or card readers. I don’t want to have to buy and swap out dongles.
I have an iPhone and it works flawlessly but these are the reasons I HATE apple. I don’t like having to hack my devices to use them properly.
Yes, I saw that the lack of USB ports and the lack of an integrated card reader in an article about them yesterday, and thought wow, they really screwed the pooch on this. So people have to pay extra for a plug-in card reader, sounds just like good old apple.
I mean if you want to port a whole bunch of music files over, or other files you want to browse, pdf’s etc how the hell are you going to do that if they’re on a memroy card? Everytime you’re going to have to haul out the bulky adapter. Extremely stupid.
Maybe by the 3rd generation iPad they’ll have these added in. That and maybe VOIP that works with a nice little bluetooth earpiece.
