Ok, it looks good, hey it is black :) fancy touches and demos well in Steve Jobs’ hands. But do I want one of these?
The answer is NO, for so many reasons. I have to say I am disappointed. I expected Apple to continue being on a roll and bring something that will change the Tablet market forever after the failure of Microsoft and others before it in the pursuit of consumer happiness :)
- No camera? What were you thinking? I was expecting TWO of them in the front and the back.
- No multitasking? Really? this is not a phone, so that is not ok.
- Is this the Kindle killer, NO WAY, it is much better and easier on the eye to read on the Kindle. Remember, FANCY and COLORS does not mean better.
- AT&T, really??? AGAIN??? you never learned from the IPhone deal that AT&T was your weakest link.
- “Excellent for surfing the web” Really? with no Flash or Silverlight support? Which web are you surfing?
- No USB? Really??? COMMMMEEEE ONNNN
- No HDMI or any other video output? COMMEEEE ONNNN
- No 16:9 aspect ratio for watching movies?
This device is the “most important device of Steve Jobs’ career” as he said on stage two days ago in San Francisco while announcing the device. No Steve, it is not, you have done very well, don’t sell yourself cheap with a statement like that.
The impressive part about the IPAD really is that Monotouch within 24 hours released an update to their product that will allow you to target the IPAD while continuing to build applications in C#. I guess the good thing is that the binary format for apps is the same as IPhone while including some new namespaces for the new UI dimensions and layouts. Kudos to the Monotouch team!
