Apple iPad

What iPad can't do.


1. It can't on the music while you are using the Facebook application so they cannot run simultaneously

2.


But those prices are for iPads with wireless Internet access only. If you want connectivity over the 3G cell phone Internet network, you'll have to add $130 to each iPad price, as well as the cost of a data plan (more on that later).




So for the most complete iPad experience, you'll need to shell out $830 for the device plus the monthly cost of 3G access. For that kind of cash, you could buy a full-fledged computer.


The monthly cost of the 3G access is kinda like a major turnoff? How can a fad cost so much? A toy should not be costing that exorbitantly!


3.Apple's Safari is the only Web browser for the iPad. Another bummer: Safari on iPad won't allow for tabbed browsing, which lets users keep several sites open at once in the same window



Also, as you all know, Flash is not able to run on iPad. That basically means that you will not be able to see short clips or videos on iPad. This stubborn move by Apple is bound to hit it hard later on.


That's one thing I can't understand. Why does Steve Jobs remove flash from his products? It's really enigmatic.



4. Film buffs will love this sharp, crisp display. But the iPad doesn't support the widescreen 16:9 format of most movies, so viewers will have to look at thick black edges on two sides -- or cut off some of the picture -- while they're trying to watch "Hot Tub Time Machine."



Hmmm, on prima facie I was thinking who the hell will watch a movie on an iPad?


But on second thoughts, I think it's kinda cool to watch it on the iPad screen with everyone around you looking at it at the same time, like a mini theatre so to speak.


5.The iPad boasts a 10-hour lifespan when playing video, and many reviewers have said the battery lasts even longer than Apple claims. And if you somehow manage to put the device down for an extended period of time, the battery will last a full month on standby.




But like the iPhone and iPod, the battery is built in. So if it dies you can't simply pop in a new one; if the battery is broken, for all intents and purposes, so is your iPad.


The good news is that you only need to pay $99 if you battery wears out. However, if it is spoiled because of your carelessness, then that's it, it's the end.


The demise of your iPad.
