Why NOT to hate the iPad. And why TO.

So you've may noticed I do not like the iPad.
But there is some quality's that people would like but do not apply to me as a tech savoy teenager.

For people who don't have a iPhone this might make sense. Though being way to large it can run all the apps that a iTouch has and a few the iPhone can run. A large chunk of people would only use the Mail, Internet, and Game apps that are avalible.

Now this therory (is that what you would call it?) makes sense it forgets a large part of using a computer.

The iPad would have made an exelent communitcation device IF it had a front-facing webcam.
If AT&T did not want to have the network load of people video chatting then they could talk to there Oh-So-Good friends at Apple to block that in the app store. Though I'm sure that someone would jailbreak it to be able to video chat.

The iPad would make a great tool for people who do not use computers often
(Grandparents, The Amish, and that teacher in 5th grade who thought they were the devil...) but it is still to restricted to let people do exactly what we are looking for.

2 posts in 2 days.

"Dear Microsoft,

You suck."

I see people say this all the time.
Mostly this is true.

But Microsoft will just sit there and twiddle there thumbs.
Why?
Because think about there market share.

96.1%,.
Heck. That's almost a monopoly.

If a bunch of people from the tech field that understand whats happening says that they disagree with Vista or Windows 7 the average consumer will not care. PCs are cheaper. Macs are overly expensive.

Microsoft will sit on its throne as King while watching Apple attempt to steal the its power.


And while this is VERY stupid and morally wrong I'm almost fine with it.

In fact I bought another PC today. A netbook. A HP Mini 110.


And if Apple wants to stay on it game then it needs to create a netbook.

Not an over-sized iTouch.

A cheap ($500-$600) netbook running OSX that has the beauty of a Apple made product.
I do like apple.
The choose style over price.

But only %3.9 of the consumers want that.

And Apple needs to understand this.

I am disappointed with apple.

Realy Apple?
Realy?
The iPad is going to flop.
And to find out why we turn to Hitler...




So what exactly does Hitler have against the iPad?

“The iPad won’t support multitasking”

“They didn’t give it a camera, fine. But it’s on AT&T! How am I supposed to use their crappy network?”

“eBooks? If I wanted eBooks, I’d buy a Kindle.”

“It could have single-handedly destroyed netbooks. But what do we get instead? An oversized iPod Touch!”

“It can’t even make phone calls!”

“I wanted to watch videos of lolcats while laying on the couch. But no, they won’t even give it flash support.”


And all these are right. I spent five hours yesterday taking notes about the device. (yeah I'm that lame)

The iPad will fail like the MacBook Air did.
