The editors didn't like
No Flash (Screw "Battery Life" I Want Friggin Flash)
Zero Expansion
No flash support
No HDMI out
Somewhat heavy for an ereader
No earbuds included
No multitasking
But that may change in OS 4.0
No file system for managing files.
The downside about the US iPad 3G is that the 3G service comes from AT&T
Of course. I had hoped that the speed of the 3G connection in the iPad 3G would somehow be better — even if just slightly — than that of the iPhone 3GS. It's not
This isn't to say
Lack of Flash web page support
No 3rd party multitasking
Expensive
Some may find the device hefty after some time
IPhone games are forced to be stretched to fill the screen
Developers charging more for iPad vs. iPhone versions of games
Cannot be played in the sun
Very fingerprint “friendly.” (Apple’s decision to restrict apps built outside of Apple’s native coding language leaves some questions about developer commitment.)Overall
For the price
Y
How are we supposed to hold it for long periods of time?
Onboard sound is severely limited
Charging is not as simple as it could be
No way to sign up for or manage the 3G data plan except on the iPad itself. We had significant activation problems requiring multiple phone calls to fix. Why is this device tied to AT&T again?
Slow upload speeds
Some video apps degrade quality over 3G
Costs $130 more than Wi-Fi only model
VoIP apps don’t work over 3G
It's expensive
And regardless of your feeling about Adobe's Flash
The fact that the iPad can't run it is inconvenient.
No multitasking or Flash support
Lacks a camera
Typing quickly without errors is a challenge
Screen difficult to read in sunlight
Apps more expensive than iPhone
Lacks support for Flash content
No multitasking with current firmware
Screen difficult to view in direct sunlight
No camera
Heavy to hold for extended periods
Lacks HDMI output
Native HD resolution
Costs $130 more than the Wi-Fi-only version. Some applications don't work over 3G. AT&T is the only U.S. carrier with 3G support.
No Flash
So video in webpages is out of the question
No video chat
Expensive Look and Feel...
The new iPad is slightly heavier than last year's model
Apps and movies optimized for the screen might take up more space
And ports for HDMI
USB
And SD require adapters
No Flash support
No iSight camera built-in
No Flash support. Screen attracts smudgy fingerprints. No camera. No expansion slots or ports. Battery not user replaceable. No multitasking (until iPhone OS 4).
Lacks Flash support. No camera or video recorder. No multitasking capability. Cover Flow is missing from the iPod app. Doesn't ship with a case. Earbuds aren't included.
Cost
3G option is even dearer
Cannot serve as a standalone computer
In addition to iTunes dependence
Horsepower is presently shortchanged by limited
IPhone-class multitasking that forces all third-party applications to occupy and waste entire screen
Lack of camera similarly li
Limited to AT&T's spotty 3G network in the U.S. Typing is a chore on the onscreen keyboard. Restrictive App Store policies may limit your access to porn and political cartoons (though there's always Safari)
The size is not only large but awkward
Expensive cost of ownership
Lack of HD resolution means videos aren’t as good as they could be
No memory expansion without clumsy adapter
The iPad's large size is as much a hindrance as it is an advantage. As a jack-of-all-trades and a master of few
The iPad can't entirely mimic many of the specialized products it seeks to replace. The iPad's lack of front or rear cameras
Flash support
A
Can’t multitask
Nonstandard OS
Limited as a gaming platform.
The iPad's screen resolution hasn't budged
Photo quality is mediocre
There's still no Adobe Flash support
And SD all require adapters
Highly reflective screen
Slippery
No multi-tasking (yet)
“Only” a few thousand iPad-specific apps (so far)
NonRemovable battery
Mono Speaker
Fingerprint magnet
No built in mic or camera
Closed ecosystem
Arrow keys are missing (virtual and hardware)
Only Apple Apps permitted (no alternative browser)

använder jag min iPad ganska lite men samtidigt kan de där 15 minuterna i soffan med iPaden vara guld värda i en annars så stressig vardag, för att inte tala om de 14 timmarna på planet till Thailand. Tre rekommendationer Köp ett fodral – då slipper du r...
Abstract: Tablets, läsplattor, surfplattor, eller 2010-talets handdator? Oavsett vad vi väljer att kalla dem är de inte direkt ett nytt fenomen, men tidigare försök att väcka den här prylgenren har helt enkelt varit för dåliga för att vi skulle ta dem på allvar....
Ber om ursäkt för en mycket lång recension men det finns mycket att säga om en enhet som på så många sätt tillför något nytt och som både skiljer sig från andra samtidigt som den överlappar i funktionalitet med enheter som vi redan har. iPad är första ve...
Abstract: Gisle Orlund Innan vi börjar med själva artikeln kan det kanske vara roligt att veta att den helt och hållet är skriven på en amerikansk iPad som vi vänligt nog fått låna av företaget Emcom – och som samtidigt försett oss med ett Apple Wireless Blueto...
Abstract: Det tar väl sisådär två-tre minuter efter att iPad packats upp tills man är igång. Installationsfasen inkluderar egentligen ett steg: att ansluta den till iTunes på din Mac via USB. Ungefär lika mycket information finns att tillgå i det medföljande i...
Apple Ipad påminner en hel del om Iphone men med sin klart större storlek så kanske man mer ska se den som framtidens dator. Testarna menar att potentialen verkligen finns där men klagar över frånvaro av flash-stöd och kamera....
Abstract: Ipad har landat i USA och M3 har naturligtvis testat vad den nya surfplattan går för. Kommer den att förändra sättet vi använder datorer på eller är det en onödig pryl som inte fyller någon egentlig funktion i vår vardag? Vi har svaret....
