Everyone is not going gaga over the latest iPad. Many are not cooing ooohs and aahs on this latest tech device released by apple. Some can be downright nasty. It seems to me many are discussing about the bezel, on how to hold it without disrupting the current screen. Here's what they have to say.( Comments from Engadget)
broli : It looks like a giant mutated ipod. ( Well, it actually does. It does function like one. An added plus is the onscreen keyboard where you can type with ease.)
devitus: Can you imagine holding this for more than 30 minutes? Your hands will fall off! ( Of course, it will be heavier than the iPod, it does look larger. If you are going to do a lot of reading with this stuff better put it in a dock. It is not kindle.)
OwenV: No way netbook killer. This thing sucks. Anyone who buys it is a moron. 16GB? Joke. No flash? Joke. No camera? Joke. No multitask? Joke.
It's not even close to a computer. More to my iPhone. Really lame. (It's quite disappointing to know that it has no camera and flash. What's more is that it could not multitask. How then can it be a netbook killer!?!)
mjamestorch: can anyone tell me who would ever need this thing? If you have an iphone, you have almost all of the functionality (okay, fine, youo dont have iWork on the iphone... but who is going to use this thing for work?, and even if you did, you seriously would buy this just to use iWork???? ( What exactly does iwork do?)
Southern78: Its neat and I definitely would like to play with one but overall I just can't see the long term use for it. At 499 you can add another 100 bucks and get a decent laptop (none apple). It is cool though and would like to see how the experience is. All I see it for is a expensive way to check social media outlets, surf the web and read eBooks. Hope there is a market for it as surely a lot good competitive tech will result.( I agree, it's convenient for those who love ebooks. It's like Guidepost in Large print.)
Bozilla: Netbooks have front facing camera with which to use Skype. Netbooks have USB ports and some even have card readers. How am I supposed to bring this travelling with my SLR and flip through photos
Poweroutage:No FLASH, WEBCAM, MULTITASKING... forget it. I'd rather take a net book or my current M1210 Dell to class for notes. Now if it had a way of loading all my textbooks and taking notes on the side I might of been interested. Sorry Apple. Waiting for the next iPhone but this iPad looks like a flop.
