Apple Ipad Is a No Go!

I was very disappointed in the Apple Ipad. Yes it looks very cool with the digital keyboard and all it's iPhone apps. It has 10 hours of battery life. It's very light weight,it weighs 1.5 lbs and is a half inch thick. Doesn't sound very sturdy. It also has full capacitive multi touch.The prices vary from $499. for 16GB, $599. for 32GB and $699. for 64GB.It comes with zooming maps and street views which I will admit is pretty cool. It even comes with the ibook app if you enjoy reading on the go. You can also get iWorks a suite of apps to help you create documents, spreadsheets and presentations. Everything I mentioned sounds pretty great right? Wrong!

Now for my cons because there are always two sides to every story so to speak. It has NO flash player!Hence one of the reasons of such a great battery life, it does not have a camera so no video conferencing on this bad boy. Wasn't there a rumor about iPad having this feature? This is not a gamers laptop (unless you play the app games), heck it's not even worth buying out of the office settings. How many sites do we surf that needs flash player?

This product to me was a definite let down, I expected so much more. Maybe next year! This will not be at the top of the tweens Christmas list this year.

  1. I do not even want any apple produvcts, I am a PC. I do not use itunes or Quicktime. Apple products do not interest me at all. I am down with Microsoft's technology. Their products are easy to use and can do more thing, some not as well as apple or so i have been told but the trade off is well worth it.
