I wonder why they didn't come out with good name that makes sense. Opps,i have to sorry first. no offence here,for those who've bought ipad,he/she might be proud of it no matter what,suke hati la kan. i suke canggih,you hado? *em,takpela,it doesn't worth it,anyway,why should i spend my money on that? iPad may looks sophisticated to some people. but there's always have pros and cons in everything. well,nothing's perfect. Anyway here are the top 10 iPad disappointments.
1. The name. iPod may have been cool, but iPad just seems lazy. And it sounds like a sanitary towel.
2. Battery life. "Up to 10 hours" is unlikely to be more than a claim in real-world situations. Turn on wi-fi or 3G and expect to need to charge it twice a day.
3. No keyboard. OK, I know that's sort of the point, but how many people want big-screen portable computing without a real keyboard? Keyboards on notebooks protect the screen, too.
4. No USB ports, and you need to buy a Camera Connection Kit to plug in an SD card to transfer your digital photos from a camera.
5. No camera. That means no video chat or Skype video calling. Some people use such things a lot, I'm reliably informed.
6. The price. The base model without 3G (and hence rather limited on the move) is $499 which will probably actually convert to just under £500 for the UK market. iPods cost more on a like-for-like basis in Europe than the US, and the top spec iPads, at around $850, are going to be pretty expensive compared to the competition if that's the case here.
7. No Adobe Flash support. The supposedly best browsing experience doesn't let you use one of the most popular formats for animation and video on the web.
8. Iffy GPS. There's something called Assisted GPS which relies on Wi-Fi or 3G but there's no built-in GPS receiver.
9. No applications multi-tasking apart from for a few apps that come with the device.
10. The name, again. Oh, and limited operator coverage (currently only on AT&T in the US, no word on UK carriers yet). And the closed application ecosystem. And the likely fragility of the thing. And the potential for the screen to get smeary when you keep touching it. And the fact you will become a target for thieves as early iPod users were. And no high definition video output. And the aspect ratio isn't widescreen. And bright screens are a strain on the eye compared to the digital ink technology of rival e-readers...
And now,here comes the funny part. Apple's iPad emergence has prompted a score of WTFing across the internet, prompting many to ask, "Are there any women on Apple's marketing team?" Answer: Apparently not. (Period.)
From Twitter (for what it's worth, #iTampon is apparently the number three trending topic on the site.
):
tjakabon: "It surfs the web AND stops the bleeding."
Gelatobaby: And you can use the giant QWERTY keyboard to get your period on the #iPad!
CarolBlymire: Is #apple making an iPad for light-flow days? Just wondering...
Trish1981: iPad? Really? All I can say is, I'm sticking with Always, bitches.
tremendousnews: So I can say "That chick is on her iPad" and not be called a pig? Thank you Apple.
melissapierce: iPad has changed "the conversation" from how we use tech in context to how we use tech as Kotex. (who named this thing?)
TwittsMcGee: I haven't heard this many period jokes since I was forced to watch The View last month. #iPad
kathycacace: Okay, just one more. The iPad: protecting your data from embarrassing incidents.
Johnpapa: "64 gig iPad will forever be known as the heavy flow model."
From the comments section of "Period Pieces":
lady_justice: Did the prototype come with a belt?
Lymed: Does the Period Tracker app come free?
fauxfruit: If I order this, will my boyfriend and I have to worry if it comes late?
andBegorrah: If you and your friends all buy one, will they sync up?
boston_nj: Meh. I'll wait until they come out with the iDivaCup
morninggloria: Don't wear white jeans while using an iPad, and especially don't use an iPad in front of your
crush. You're a teen magazine embarrassing moment waiting to happen.
ms negative the easy-going unicorn: someone needs to make a 'mysterious blue liquid stain on white' wallpaper for this.
LilSpitfire: Later in the year they will be releasing the companion tablet pen, the Ipon.
Vesuvius At Home (I believe in peace, bitch): But what if the cute boys see me shopping for one? What if my dad has to take me??
NellMood: It's so beautiful when an electronics company finally becomes a woman...
Cinnamoncanuck: @NellMood: Aunt Flo will be so happy! Reply
soykatrina: Eh, I prefer the CVS brand. A few bucks less but does the same thing...
vlvtjones: So will iffy Wifi coverage be called iSpotting?
morninggloria: Can I get a scented iPad for when my data feels not-so-fresh?
Mary McCarthyite: Everyone, just try to Stay(free) calm and Poise(d). It's Always nice to see a new product on the market. I Depend on Apple to come up with great ideas. Maybe we're taking this out of Kotex.
Lymed: Somebody give the iPad a Red Bull, because it ain't no good without wings.
Begorrah: Are you there, God? It's me, Marketing.
NellMood: iPads are for 8th graders. I'm waiting for the iTampon, because I prefer to do all my interneting from inside my vagina.
BicSharpie: Hopefully it will help people deal with the 24-hour news cycle.
well,people still buy it.
well,people still buy it.
