Why is that? What do you think the next one will have, that will change your mind? |
I just got back from seeing one in person and I can see a few areas for improvement.
The first issue I have with the ipad is the screen. I was looking at my own reflection for a good amount of time. Outside in the sunlight, it was nearly impossible to see the screen (kindle does a little better outside).
The screen got smudged fairly quick. Even with completly clean hands there was a bit of difficulty keeping the screen print free. You can't just wipe it like a phone because the screen is big.
The ipad has no rubber feet. It slid a bit when i was messing around on it.
You'll need a carrying case for it because it's too big to carry in your pocket but it doesn't close on itself like a laptop/netbook making it very confusing to travel about with.
the RAM could be an issue but it didn't really impede my experience.
The battery life is awesome so i have no problem with that.
The fact that it can only run one application at a time was a bit of a let down. I would like a bit more.
The upscaling of old iphone apps was sort of bad, but again that isn't a huge issue. The price for ipad apps being higher does sorta bother me though.
And last- the ipad is more for using instead of creating. You can't really expect to do much writing on it like a netbook. It's good if you want to browse/watch vids/tweet/read email/read books/etc.
All of these issues could probably be addressed in the ipad2.0
