11 Reasons Apple iPad Sucks

[complicit]

A lot of people were psyched about the iPad. Not anymore! Here are eleven reasons Apple's new iPad Sucks:

1. The Name iPad
Get ready for Max-iPad jokes, and lots of 'em!

2. No Multitasking
This is a dealbreaker. If this is supposed to be a replacement for netbooks-- how can it possibly not have multitasking? Are you saying I can't listen to Pandora while writing a document? I can't have my Twitter app open at the same time as my browser? I can't have AIM open at the same time as my email? Are you kidding me? This alone guarantees that I will not buy this product.

3. Big, Ugly Bezel
Have you seen the bezel on this thing?! It's huge! I know you don't want to accidentally input a command when your thumb is holding it, but come on.

4. Touch Keyboard
So much for Apple revolutionizing tablet inputs; this is the same big, ugly touchscreen keyboard we've seen on other tablets, and unless you're lying on the couch with your knees propping it up, it'll be awkward to use.

5. It's Not Widescreen
Widescreen movies look lousy on this thing thanks to its 4:3 screen. It's like owning a 1970's TV all over again!

6. No Flash
No Flash is annoying but not a dealbreaker on the iPhone and iPod Touch. On something that's supposed to be closer to a netbook or laptop? It will leave huge, gaping holes in websites. I hope you don't care about streaming video! Not many casual internet users do. Oh wait...

7. No Cameras
No front facing camera is one thing. But no back facing camera either? Why not? I can't imagine what the downside was for including at least one camera. Couldn't this thing handle video iChat?

8. No HDMI Out
Want to watch those nice HD videos you downloaded from iTunes on your TV? Too damned bad! If you were truly loyal, you'd just buy an AppleTV already.

9. Adapters, Adapters, Adapters
So much for those smooth lines. If you want to plug anything into this, such as a digital camera, you need all sorts of ugly adapters. You even need an adapter for a USB adapter!

10. Closed App Store
The iPad only runs apps from the App Store. The same App Store that is notorious for banning apps for no real reason, such as Google Voice. Sure, netbooks might not have touchscreens, but you can install whatever software you'd like on them. Want to run a different browser on your iPad? Too bad!

11. Doesn't Support T-Mobile 3G
Sure, it's "unlocked." But it won't work on T-Mobile, and it uses microSIMs that literally no one else uses.



This thing JUST SUCKS!!!
