iPad Complaints received so far:
No Adobe Flash No Camera No VOIP [Skype, Vonage, etc] No battery swapping!!! No outboard memory!!! No comment on bundling data plans No mention of resolution levels
I read the resolution is 1024x768 http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apple-ipad-first-hands-on/ It runs all iphone apps and there is a microphone, so Skype and other apps would work (maybe not over 3g) Data plan bundles and such will come this summer with a subsidy I'm sure, just like when the original iphone was released.

It's from Apple... you expected more? Historically they've always released products with proprietary implementations, to ensure everyone comes back to the same trough for more. This is no different from an iPod or an iPhone or a MacBook Air from a vendor lock-in and entry-level technology perspective. Nothing revolutionary to see here.. They'll use it as a vehicle to drive more traffic through the AppStore.
Hi David, Everbody, Vendor locked In ? It is unlocked so just get a data plan stick it in and your off! Or just use Wifi. Want other content from other vendors load'em on to your computer --> put into iTunes and sync. I am sure apps will follow. As for VOIP be careful most carriers do not allow it!! 64 GB is quite alot. What I notice was that there seemed to be three slots on the side that look like USB slots!! Maybe something is comming!?? May have to wiat for X-Mas for more advanced features!! What machine that size has that many pixels. Actually, it has plenty. I would have hoped for external DVD-drive. Who knows? regards Keith. Am 27.01.2010 um 21:38 schrieb David A. Desrosiers:
