Apple iPad: Love It or Lump It? - apple tablet - Lifehacker

What a disappointment. Alan Key, who first suggested the idea of computer in a pad must be wondering what the fuck/

Rather than a step forward, Apple has taken their cell phone and inflated it. That is it. That is all.

Far too little on board memory .. is this to be ONLY cloud based?

Low resolution touch screen ... fingers are NOT a good tool for drawing anything .. finger paint anyone?

Battery life?

form factor ... Apple must think folks want to carry around a framed toy .. like an etch a sketch rather than a yellow pad. A good 10% of the screen is its border.

Input? No USB.

Input? no camera?

Input? No voice recognition and no hand writing recognition.

Other than that the great innovation her is .................?

The real message here is that Apple is a predator, it has a crew of loyal fans who mourn Michael Jackson but can still buy iSTUFF. If Jobs can sell this thing, he is amazing!
