ipad weaknesses

ipad with keyboardAfter Apple released a tablet called the iPad, a few pros and cons emerged, some argue that not ipad is a new device, only to have a large screen size alone, but some are praised because it is a tablet computer device that has a fast Internet connection



However, we have several findings that indicate that there are shortcomings in Apple iPad device. The following weaknesses of the iPad:


Display size is not too large

Display iPad has a thick bezel, and to play a movie, only the iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:4, less than the standard 16:9 like the iPod, although the resolution was reached in 1024 x 768 pixels, as the netbook.

No multitasking

If intended to replace the netbook, this iPad device should be used for multitasking, such as the open Twitter at the same time when opening email AIM.

No camera

There are no facilities either in front of cameras or in the back, so that can not handle video iChat.

Keyboard touch

There is no physical keyboard, but a touch keyboard that has a large size on the screen. It would be more comfortable if you use the holder to use this iPad.

No HDMI port

iPad not be used to watch high-definition video on TV that you download from iTunes.

Does not support Adobe Flash

Google announced that the iPad has flash, but iPad equipped with HTML5 standard for multimedia content, including streaming videos like on YouTube.

No USB port

iPad only has a single dock connector, no USB port for connection such as flash, so the user can not directly plug an external keyboard without buying a separate USB adapter.

However, if you want to connect with like examples iPad digital camera, so users need a USB adapter.

Does not support T-Mobile 3G

iPad is not working in carrier T-Mobile, and only use the microSIM rarely used in any device.

Only can play 480p video
Unlike the Apple TV 720p video support super clear.

No Full GPS

Apple just put A-GPS via Wi-Fi and 3G. Weaknesses A-GPS is less accurate, because the user need an active phone connection to get the location position information.

This means that if the user stops paying subscription or mobile data connection in the lower zone, then the GPS function can not be used.

If iPad intended for travel purposes, should be equipped with GPS chips, like the iPhone.

There is no slot SDCARD

Although the internal capacity iPad large enough, but the user can enter SDCARD tdak like the camera to import video and images directly to iPad, without buying iPad Camera Connection Kit or SDCARD reader.

No Open SDK

This is the most surprising, considering that Apple always updating operating system, but the Software Development Kit for iPhone OS 3.2, which became iPad operating system, developers should be asked to approve the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before you gain access iPad.

This means that programmers are working to make the application in iPad not allowed to talk about the application platform to developers who do not approve the NDA.

Apple iPad want to encourage developers to open its information in a new ecosystem, like Twitter for instance.
