Apple’s iPad was one of the most awaited Apple products this year that has made Apple fans crazy again. Although it looks like an awesome device but I was expecting a little more.
Experiencing an Apple device is always a different thing, you can’t really tell if the device is good for you or not unless you adapt it in your daily life. But so far according to what I know about this device, I think these are the good, the bad and the ugly things about it:
The good:
- Awesome architecture! 1 GHz Apple A4 Chip is specially designed for this device for remarkable performance.
- Incredible device for readers.
- Battery life is 10 hours with video play back.
- You can keep it on standby mode for a month after a full charge. This means it’s always ready to be used and no need to wait for boot up.
- iPhone Apps work on iPad but with the resolution of 1:1 pixels. Also run on full screen.
- iPhone developers can easily modify their existing apps to make them iPad ready.
- Very handy device for students, one iPad can replace your all books and battery life is enough to enjoy them for a whole day.
- Has awesomeness of the iPhone OS with better adaption for bigger screen.
- It’s really cheap! Starts from $499.
- Accelerometer!
The bad:
- No camera! I hate this.
- No multitasking.
- Should have GPRS Edge support.
- You can’t make phone calls, also no sms support.
- Graphics are not so good. I know it’s a low end device in terms of graphics but I was expecting better.
- And I am not sure if anyone can use this big thing as a controller comfortably for playing games.
The ugly:
- No flash! Really sucks for those who’s favorite time pass is FarmVille.
- No stylus support for handwriting and artistic work.
- No TV or HDMI output.
