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.

Apple’s groovy computer will rapidly blow up after the first push period during it’s launch. The lack of keyboard and Mac’s potential to fix hardware will begin to make the iPad a success story in for the forseeable future.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.Have you tried the ipad? you can get one free at FreshGiftCard.com

The Apple iPad looks fantastic. I will definitely be buying one. I am just not decided whether to get the wifi or the 3g and which size to get.

Hiya, nice day.. Your article is extremely impressive. I never considered that it was feasible to accomplish something like that until after I looked over your post. You certainly gave a great perception on exactly how this whole process works. I will make sure to return for more advice. Thanks

Why WOULD Apple want to send any of their IPads out to the Apple Stores for demo before they are released to sell? Because they won’t sell as many if the consumers know how much they suck beforehand! As for the “anti apple Shrils” (Gee.. I hope I misspelled that as accurately as “Gijoeinla”), we simply want something a bit more versatile, less restricted by Apple’s greed (App-Wise), and not so dumbed down that it appeals more to the masses that cannot even spell or use correct punctuation.

Big deal…I’m not sure the niche market for this type of thing will be big enough, but who knows…I have no use for one.
