Just recently the Apple iPad was released and has been selling like crazy. But is it actually worth the steep price of $499?
I think not.
Although the iPad is bigger, it is essentially an enlarged iPod. The only function I see being useful is to use it as an electronic book. There are other things that make it useful. This article tells how versatile the iPad is.
The one thing that sucks with the iPad is that it doesn't support flash. Not supporting flash takes away many things on the internet and applications that use flash.
I read another article that explained how bad the iPad is. It doesn't have a camera, doesn't support flash, and it can't multitask.
Technology these days rely on multitasking applications and the iPad can't multitask at all.
It is the first generation iPad, but it is a failure.
What do you think of the iPad? yay or nay?
I completely agree with you. I don't see the point of the iPad and I definitely don't think it is is worth almost $500. I think it is chunky and I think that the only people buying it are the people that insist on having everything that is new on the market. I think the articles you used provide good support and the idea of your blog post is interesting and eye catching to anyone looking through different blogs. Good work!
ReplyDeleteI personally thought the idea was cool as it was coming out, but it seems like so many people have bashed it for its shortcomings. The idea is cool, but it seems like just a touch pad version of a laptop without dvd or other things, I'm not sure exactly what it lacks, but I've heard enough to know its inferior. I'm not sure its absolutely necessary, either. I know I won't be getting one.
ReplyDeleteThe iPad is basically an oversized iPod touch. As Suzy said, it will only appeal to the people that are obsessed with buying anything and everything that is new on the market. Apple is known for building up hype and encouraging people to pre-order their products, and after all the whining and whinging about the lack of features is over, they will start to introduce 'upgraded' versions of the same product at a higher price. It's not the most honorable way of doing business, but I guess they won't change their ways until people start catching on.
