OK here is my iPad rant whine. When it comes to Apple and All Things Mac, I am a little like Agent Fox Mulder from the X-Files – I want to believe! But the Apple iPad product announcement left me seriously underwhelmed. I was watching Steve present his Magnum Opus and hearing the vacuous sucking sound – we waited so long and this is it?! The positive stuff was there too – its slick and cool looking -yay. It reminds me of other things I love like my iPhone 3GS – yay! It has serious potential – yay! That said I just felt like a kid who was looking forward to Christmas all year long only to get a really bitchin pair of socks… So without delay read on for my WTF moments from the iPad presentation.
- No Camera!!! Really Steve? REALLY?!?!
- No Multitasking – *checks the calendar* WTF?
- No Flash Support – I understand Apple’s hard on for Adobe, but the iPad was supposed to offer almost sexual level of gratification for browsing the Web. Not!
- No 720p Resolution – *taps foot* seriously, what’s with the 1024×768 rez?
I mean this wasn’t exactly a total “mene, mene, tekel upharsin” moment but I found the whole thing lacking. Here’s hoping for the version 2.0.
