12 reasons to stay away from the Apple iPad
While the iPad obviously has its qualities, I am focusing on what prevents me from buying one. The picture is from Cryptogon.
- No multi-tasking
- No USB ports
- No flash support
- All applications need to be Apple approved
- No support for free audio/video formats (such as the ogg/theora)
- No camera/webcam
- 130$ extra for the 3G version, instead of just supporting USB 3G dongles
- Encumbered with DRM (eBook, audio, video)
- No keyboard (you can buy a special Apple keyboard-dock though)
- No external memory (no usb, no card reader)
- No stylus
- Reflective LCD display, making it unusable in direct sunlight
If you have anything to add to this list or want to point out any errors in it, please feel free to comment.
The Free Software Foundation also has its own page that focuses on the DRM problems with it.
