OK - so the Apple iPad could have been a break-thru device if it wasn't for some glaring flaws and omissions to it's design. I envisioned it as being a device that could replace the netbook or even the laptop when one was in the market for a new one, so long as said person was willing to make that evolutionary leap into 100% cloud computing. But sadly, no dice Apple:
1) No camera?
2) No multi-tasking?!?
3) STILL no Flash support?
4) 4:3 display?
5) I can understand no optical drive today, but no ports to speak of? No MicroSD card slot? No USB or IEEE port? No ethernet? No HDMI out? NOTHING AT ALL?!?
6) That stupid name. Do you have NO women in R&D/marketing/design at Apple?!?
7) What if you aren't near WiFi or have access to 3G in your area for some *ahem* reason? No connectivity would make this device completely and utterly useless - and not useless in a Netbook way, but 100% useless... speaking of WiFi and 3G (which isn't REAL broadband anyway, by the way) that brings us to:
8) AT&T again Apple?!? Have you learned nothing from the iPhone partnership?
