iPad?

yup and so they did it again. part of their plan to take over the world. ha ha. APPLE launched the iPad yesterday and from the looks of it, i'm not exactly impressed nor excited.

WHY?

well after visiting apple's website, i realised that the iPad lacks in several different areas for me as a consumer..

1. they do not have an isight camera!!! what can be more important than that?! ha ha well that means no photobooth (extremely important if you want to camwhore with your friends). plus one wouldn't be able to skype on the go, which would be a pull factor for me!

2. no SD card slot. well that means i can't upload my pictures to facebook and my blog on the go, which sucks. i can only transfer data through a dock where i sync the iPad with.

3. no flash component. well according to one of the reviews i read online, apparently the absence of flash component mean that one can't play facebook games! how sad is that. hrm.

4. maximum storage 64GB. that's just simply downright miserable. if they can squeeze so much storage into the iphone, why can't they do the same for the iPad?

well i guess in a way, like what my boss said at work, that they are capturing the early adopters in the market who would definitely hop onto the iPad bandwagon. as for myself, right now i think the time is not right to get myself one of these swanky looking gadgets. including the ipod nano that i've always wanted (it comes with a video camera instead of a still camera).

maybe APPLE will come out with an improved version of the iPad soon with the attributes that i've mentioned above, or maybe they will come out with an iPhone the size of the nano - that will be really interesting. but till then. i'm pretty happy with my macbook, blackberry and samsung mp3 player. :)
