Benefits And Drawbacks Of The Apple Ipad
| By: Daisy Sanders Benefits: * It's smaller than a laptop computer, yet provides many of a laptop's functions. For instance, the iPad includes Apple's iWork software, which allows you to create and read documents, spreadsheets and presentations. * It's bigger than the iPhone, which means that if you are a serious gamer or like to watch movies on the go, you have a bigger screen to do so. * If you like to read ebooks but don't want to be tied to Amazon's inflexible Kindle, the iPad provides a solution: it's a similar size to the Kindle, but allows you to buy and read books from a variety of ebookstores (there's even a free Kindle for iPad app that allows you to buy books from Amazon and read them on the iPad. * You can surf the net on the built-in Apple Safari browser. * The apps. This is what puts the iPad way ahead of tablets like the Archos 9 - software developers are in a race to create all sorts of apps for the iPad, and offer them at a very reasonable price too. Drawbacks * The biggest drawback to the iPad is the lack of a USB port. Apple could easily have built one in, but instead opted to put the USB port on the docks and dongles that come with the iPad, but which you have to pay extra for. * There is no built-in camera. While this is a minor drawback in that most people won't be taking pictures with their iPad (they'll continue to use their ohone for this), the lack of a video function means that business people won't be able to use the iPad for video conferencing. * The lack of flash: when you browse the net using the iPad and a webpage has a flash movie or image, the iPad will just show you a blue cube. Whether this is a drawback depends on how much you like images and advertising on your webpages. Most advertisers use flash, and my guess is that iPad users won't miss seeing the ads.
