IPad Or IFail

January 27th, 2010

The Ipad was announced today and I couldn’t have been more unimpressed with it.

Here are the key features:

  1. No Flash
    • Think about it you wont be able to watch flash video services like hulu on this device?
  2. No Multitasking
    • What if you could have the ability to do only one thing at a time on a computer?
  3. Non Standard Plugs
    • Wouldn’t it be great if you had to have a special adapter to plug anything into this device?

The average person has no need for this whatsoever, you can get a better laptop that does much more for the same price, but the student or doctor might get some great functionality out of this device. The doctor can use it for notes and the student might be able to get their books on it and for college kids this would be a big money saver.

What Say You?
