Beware of First edition Apple Ipad












Main disadvantages

* It’s not a computer but a big iPod Touch
* No multitasking
* No Flash support for the web browser
* No camera
* No standard USB port (you can get USB connectivity with an accessory but you need to pay extra)
* No real GPS receiver (though there is cell-tower triangulation)
* 130 US dollars (90 euro) for a 3G modem seems pricey
* iTunes required for uploading content
* No kickstand – it cannot stand on a table without the dock
* No USB host
* Looks pretty easy to drop
* No exchangeable battery
* Typing is quite uncomfortable
* micro-SIM, instead of regular SIM for the 3G models
* No memory card slot
