Pros and Cons of the iPad - Unique Review

The Apple iPad is one of the greatest inventions of 2011 and there is no doubt about the unique beauty that the iPad has. The very creators of this great device describe it as "Something perfect, helpful and necessary." Apple has undeniably used all their resources, materials to the best of their ability to create such a unique product, but like every other electronic device, this one too has a few weaknesses but they are outweighed by the pluses. All in One. The regular everyday tasks that the user may perform are combined digitally and made simply accessible through an electronic device. From entertainment in the form of photos, videos and even accessing some of the major social networking sites which storm the internet today, the iPad can do it all. It has become the must have accessory because of its simplicity. It can be used for everything such as keeping up to date with your personal life, if you ever get lost Google Maps is just a button away! The very large and ever growing list of applications for the iPad grow on a daily basis as people find new and exciting ways to put the iPad to use. On the Go. If you have ever had the chance to see or even use an iPad the first thing you will notice is its size and how compact it is and on top on that its extremely light making it the perfect device to use on the go. However, this very sleek design has a few cons such as the lack of USB ports which is a common connection used today on most technology as it offers a quick way to move files from one device to another. Another drawback that the lack of USB ports brings is it does not allow the connection to external devices. Lack of Multi-tasking. The iPad being an entertainment device, it is quite reasonable to assume that the user would be able to browse the internet while listening to their favourite music at the same time, but you cannot. Multi-tasking is one of the key features that Apple have said they will be working on in the future and the lack of this ability is one of the major factors working against it. No Camera. I was quite shocked when Apple announced that the new iPad device would not have a built in camera but was quickly relieved with the arrival of the iPad 2 which comes with its own integrated camera. The Screen. The screen takes up a very small 9.7 inches of space making it small enough to fit into your bag but big enough to watch films/movies on. Unlike some of Apple's other products the touch sensitive screen is perfect, there is no delay between your command and the device just a simple smooth motion. The iPad also has a zooming and expansion property making the use of maps feel much more real. Flash Platform Incompatibility. As well as lacking USB ports another shock to its users was the lack of flash compatibility, which means that all web pages that include images, slogans and even videos will show up as a blank box because the iPad is unable to display them. iTunes. For those of us who are familiar with iTunes will find it easy to use on the iPad but for new users its quite a daunting task. Everything to do with the iPad such as applications and software needs to be bought at the iTunes store before it can be used. Due to this many customers may be turned away.
