The iPad Sucks
This is why only big time fools who are totally sucked into the Apple marketing blitz will buy this machine:
It doesn't have a card reader.
It doesn't have a USB port.
It doesn't have a true keyboard.
It doesn't have a camera.
It doesn't have a webcam.
It doesn't have a hard drive.
It doesn't support Adobe flash.
To upgrade the memory on the iPad from 16gb to 32gb the price goes up $100-. This should cost about $30 to $40.
When your battery dies, you as a mere owner, customer, or user are not permitted to change it. You send your machine back to Apple, and for $100- they send you back someone else's used machine with a new battery in it. Honest, they don't even send you back your own machine.
There are lots of small laptops for sale at the moment with about the same size screens selling for about $300 - $400. These machines have a proper keyboard and you can close the case to safely transport it. The iPad is completely bare; just asking to get broken.
You can load actual programs on these other machines. Adobe photoshop, etc. etc.
If you have any brains you will buy a 10 inch netbook. Asus, Acer, Dell, and lots of other people are making great machines. The user can change the battery on all of them, they have USB ports, card readers, web cams, and actual keyboards. You can load other company's software on them too.
The iPad is sexy proof that you have more money than brains. It appears good if all you want to do is read things. Read the news or your email. But if you want to actually do something, or create something, the performance of the iPad falls far short of these other small machines. So if you want to prove that you are both arrogant and stupid, buy an iPad and go flaunt it in a conspicuous consumption manner at Starbucks. Elementary Watson.
