Ipad

Top ten reasons I would not get an Ipad.

1. First generation, likely to come down in price or increased specs
2. No multitasking, Really?
3. No GPS
4. No SD card slot, it's already around 800 dollars do I have to pay extra for an SD card attachment that is going to add bulk and more crap to carry around
5. No USB port, see above.
6. No over the air sync with desktop, more of a itunes issue but nevertheless.
7. Expensive, honestly you have to get the 3g version and 16GB is out of the question so you are looking at above 730 at least. There are some tablets coming out at around 300.
8. No front camera, you need a camera for conferencing
9. No back camera, what about taking pictures?
10. No flash, greatest multimedia device can't go to HULU, or ABC and watch some shows??? sounds like a strech to me.

All that being said it looks really cool and I will definitely wait for the second version before reconsidering to buy one.
