Is your kid a bit 'special'? Get her an iPad in case she pisses herself!
List copied from a WebProNews article:
- The name – Don’t give two completely different products very similar names, and don’t pick a name that is the same as a sanitary towel.
- Lack of multi-tasking – You mean I can’t browse the web and listen to music at the same time?! Backwards.
- No camera – Why the fuck not?
- Stupid connectors – Unsurprising but still lame, Apple have always done this – see connector conspiracy.
- Same shitty touchscreen keyboard as the iPhone – read my lips T-A-C-T-I-L-E F-E-E-D-B-A-C-K!
- No Macromedia Flash support – How can you make a web device that doesn’t work properly with the web? Stupid.
Congratulations Apple, you’ve made another Newton. I will go and fetch you some nice crayons.
I don’t agree with you. I think it is far better then the kindle.
The Kindle and the iPad aren’t even really competing in the same markets – the Kindle is an eBook reader and as such it has an eInk display – these displays are genuinely very clever and much more like the experience of reading a real book because they work by reflecting light rather than emitting it. The iPad just has a normal TFT display and it’s therefore more like a cross between a netbook and a tablet PC.
