Why the IPAD may not be for you.

The hotly anticipated IPAD is finally here. After Steve Job, CEO of Apple Inc. unveiled the IPAD, reviews from every part of the blogosphere have started coming in. Although Steve called the device "extraordinary," "unbelievable" and "a dream", the rest of the United States do not agree with him, well at least some of us do not agree with him. Suddenly the hotly anticipated IPAD turned into cold soup. While it sure has some good features, its not a device I would spare the little or no dollars in my bank account on (yeah, sometimes its empty, blame it on being a recent graduate).


 
But here are some of the things I think you should know about the IPAD.

The good things -

• The tablet is 0.5 inches thick and weighs 1.5 pounds.
  
• It has a 9.7 inch display with 1024 x 768 pixel resolution. It also has capacitive multi-touch that's similar to the iPhone.
  
• The iPad will have 16 GB to 64 GB flash storage.
  
• It includes speaker, microphone, and accelerometer so you can use the device in both landscape and portrait mode. There's also a compass.
  

The bad things -

• No multitasking
  
• No Adobe Flash (yet)
  
• No camera or iChat capabilities
  
• No HDMI port
  
• 4:3 aspect ratio
  
• Still dependent on AT&T's 3G service
  
• Dependence on adapters
  

Again, the Apple has failed to develop a technology for the future as promised.
