iPad Release

Hello everyone, its April 3rd 2010 which means two things. one, the Apple iPad comes out today, and two, my birthday is in 5 days including today. just sayin... ok, since the iPad comes out today i thought i would post what i think about it, both good and bad.

Pros:

1. it looks cool. i mean, if you had one of these and you walked into a coffee shop and started browsing the web people would most likely want one to. even tho it looks like a big iPod or iPhone it still catches my eye.

2. iBooks. apples built in e-reader is the best looking one on the market. its easy to use and has tons of book already in the book store. now, i would never want a kindle or any type of e-reader, but the iPad kinda makes me wanna buy a few digitized books...

3. cost. starting from 500 bucks!??! thats like the best thing ever! now if it just had a few more things i would totally buy one... but there are a few cons...

Cons:

1. multitasking. there is no multitasking whatsoever. what happens if i want to listen to pandora while checking my email or browsing the web. whatever it is, you cant do it on the iPad.

2. flash. another thing the iPad doesnt have. 50% of the internet today is made up of flash, but the iPad wont be able to load the page if it has a flash based ad or video on it.

3. camera. the iPhone has one, why cant the iPad? i can think of many reasons you would need a camera on the iPad, but i guess apple couldnt think of any. =/

so thats where i stand. if i were you, i would wait till the second gen comes out. most likely it will have multitasking and/or a camera...
