7 Reasons Why Apple’s iPad Sucks

Why Ipad Failed?

Did you get your ipad yet? If not then don’t even think about it. I still remember when a friend of mine told me about the ipad the first time. He was so excited that he would have bought it blindly without even analyzing the product. I am still amazed to see how loyal apple customers are ready to spend 599+ bucks to get this 21^st century’s- “the douchepad”.

I was hoping to see something unique and better; I believe that the iphone is still unbeatable for several features. But, the ipad was a total disappointment. It looks like four iphones tagged with one another with a duct tape. Ipad is nothing new; it just has a big ass screen.

According to a recent poll, a lot of people confessed that even if there was a sale, they would ignore the ipad like a plague.

7 Top Reasons Why the Ipad Sucks:

1. First of all, most phones come with an option to add external flash. I was surprised to see that the iphone had none but still it was acceptable to some extent. But, the ipad, which was made mainly for the internet does not have a flash nor any usb port. What the heck, we cannot always depend on the internal hard disk. A flash is not an option, it is very essential when using the net.

2. AT&T recently requested their users to limit the usage of their network. If you can’t use unlimited internet on a device that is made for the net, there is no point in getting one. Apple could have partnered with Verizon instead of AT&T which would have benefitted everyone but seems like they don’t care about their customer’s satisfaction.

3. When I heard about the ipad, I remembered the netbook. I started comparing both and always thought that the ipad beat netbook. I was wrong. The ipad does not have a camera! Now that is embarrassing. Even a cheap netbook comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera. I was expecting 2 cameras on the ipad; one at the back and one in the front but the ipad has none; a complete piece of crap

4. Multitasking!  I was completely annoyed when Steve Jobs compared ipad with a netbook; he used the term “cheap laptops” like tons of times in his presentation.  A laptop or a netbook can do multitasking. I have several windows opened along with opera and google chrome running in the background without a problem. Can the I “douche” pad do that? Netbooks in this case are ruling over without doubt.

5. Ipads have No Video Output. Your dreams of watching movies on a big screen will never happen. I was shocked that ipad didn’t have usb ports at the first place and now they don’t even have the video output. You can plug in most of the laptops to your TV to watch movies and slideshows in your TV but with an ipad, it is simply not going to happen.

6. Ipad has built in batteries which mean if they ever run out or die, you can’t change it. Wow, another downer. Apple says that the ipad has a battery life of 10 hours straight but I doubt that. If you own an iphone then try playing Driver for an hour, browse for a while, play some music and tweet using tweetdeck; come back and tell me that you didn’t have to charge yours phone for the whole day. Imagine doing the same stuff with the ipad. It’s never going to work.

7. First, no flash and second the storage limitation. Ipad’s storage capacity starts at 16GB. This is ridiculous; most of the games and high quality movies consist of larger files and with a 16GB, it will take only a couple of days to get it filled. If this stuff is worth 500 bucks then think twice before you even go close to it. You can get a netbook for less than 200 bucks with a camera and 80+ GB storage.
