What does iPad lack?

February 11th, 2010 Arvind No comments

1. Camera: No camera for clicking pics, recording video or doing a video chat.
2. USB support: Since it doesn’t have camera to click snaps or record video. There should be an easy way to put your album or data into it. USB at present is the best option.
3. Flash support: Apple claims that in majority of cases flash is a culprit of breaking down Mac OS. It may be, but the fact is that Flash is used very widely now-a-days. People are migrating their sites to flash.
4. Multitasking: Perhaps the biggest disappointment, you can’t watch video while reading out a document in Pages.
