Few days back Apple released it’s tablet, iPad and created sensation all across the world. I see everyone talking about its feature so interestingly. Many, by now might be knowing its feature, but you should be aware of its lack of support to many stuff. Today I would like to take this time up writing about its disadvantages. Here are some of the disadvantages of iPad, which could let you wait for its successor.

No Support To Flash Player: iPad doesn’t support Flash player, so you will not be able to play most of the videos online or play games which uses flash. Of course it will let you play YouTube videos. As many of the websites uses flash player to view their content, this can be a big drawback.
No Multi-tasking: One of the big disadvantage of iPad is its nonexistence of multi-tasking. Multi-tasking is one of the key future of the modern day devices, iPad’s nonexistence of multi-tasking gets me amazed. So, if you are playing a game and quickly want to browse a website, then the only option you have is: to close the game application and browse. That means you cannot let your application run in the background.
Lack Of Webcam: Yet another strong disadvantage of iPad. Its so hard to believe that the device developed for the people who like browsing doesn’t support video conference. You cannot use webcam while using instant messenger. It will not let you grab a picture for your personal blog.
No USB Support: Universal Serial Bus which is suppose to be big breakthrough in the technology, is not supported by the iPad. Almost all of the peripheral these days are connected to devices through USB. So, no USB drive, USB headset and USB related stuff.
Other Drawbacks: Apart from these disadvantages iPad have many more drawbacks:
- iPad reads e-book but doesn’t have e-ink, the one which make the screen look like real page of a book.
- Supports only application from Apple App Stores.
- No external memory slot
Price tag is much high
With all these disadvantages, the thing that comes to my mind is: “iPad is marketing 2G”. iPad certainly not a 3G device.
