The iPad: Why not?
Hey guys, it’s time to talk Apple.
I’m here to tell you how amazingly awesome the new iPad by Apple actually is after reading all the negative press it has received. However, before I tell you how great it is, I want to get some things clear. No, the iPad does not have multitasking capabilities. No, the iPad does not support Flash. No, it does not have photo/video capturing capabilities either. So there you go, those are the CONS.
Now for the PROS.
The iPad has third party support, which means it is able to run third party apps, without the pesky modifications. Which means I can play Papi Missile on a BIG SCREEN! I am definitely looking forward to that. Also, HTML5, the still-developing next gen version of HTML, is probably the best resolvent for the Flash problem. Although the internet is not fully HTML5 yet, this is a very promising factor for Apple.
The price of the iPad is not cheap, but it is also not over the $1000 price tag that was predicted. The cheapest iPad is $500 and it has 16 GB of storage. A 3G compatible iPad will be available, with which you will need to buy the AT&T $30/month for unlimited data. There is also a 32 GB and a 64 GB version.
So there you have it, folks. The iPad is better than you think. So please stop dissing it until it comes out, and we can see how great it truly is!

HTML5 is not promising for Apple, it’s promising for owners of iPods/iPhones/iPads. Apple claims they don’t support Flash because it’s buggy. But the truth is if they did support it, there would probably be less Game App purchasing.
You forgot that it doesn’t have a normal USB port on it. Or that it doesn’t have a camera. Or that the back is rounded so it wobbles when you set it down to type.
You could easily purchase any number of electronics that do a thousand more things than the iPad for equal or lesser price. My HP Pavillion tx2000 is much better in all regards except for weight/size, and I bought it refurbished for $550.
If this device had a pen and OSX, it would have actually satisfied *all the people who were initially interested in it.* Now, it’s literally just a larger version of something already available, which is not innovative. It’s just lazy.
@itemforty He actually did say that it didn’t have a camera, just not in those words. I’m not a fan of the iPad or Apple and I do agree that there are way cheeper things that do much more.
