Apple has launched its latest creation yesterday - the iPad.
The iPad, which is a tablet computer, supposedly a cross between a smartphone and a laptop will apparently make web browsing, email, photos sharing, watching videos, listening to music, playing games, and reading ebooks, better.
The sleek looking iPad tablet is only 0.5 inch thick and weighs 680 grams featuring a big 9.7 inch LED backlit multi-touch screen.
Despite its looks, most technology observers describe the iPad as just a giant iPhone and are rather disappointed with it - they say many basic features are not available on the iPad.
Here are just a few of the things that the iPad doesn't have:
- No camera: There is no front-facing camera for video conferencing, and there is no back-facing camera for taking pictures.
- No phone calls — Although the iPad supports cellular networks and has a build-in microphone, you cannot make telephone calls or send SMS.
- No multitasking: You cannot run multiple applications simultaneously. Thus you can't, among other things, listen to the online radio while updating your Facebook.
- No HDMI Output: You cannot connect your iPad to your TV or a projector to do presentations.
- No USB port: You cannot plug in any other device, such as a thumb drive, into the iPad.
- No flash — As there's no Adobe Flash Player on the iPad, you cannot play flash animations, videos or games on the iPad - yes, you cannot play Facebook games on it.

The price of an iPad starts from US$499 (RM1,697) for WiFi-only models and up to US$829 (RM2,818) for the WiFi- and 3G-enabled 64GB model.Although there is no determined date when the iPad will be available in Malaysia, Apple says the iPad will be available worldwide within 2 months from now - sometime late March, presumably.
Apple's huge brand advantage and its loyal customer base has not discouraged its competitors from introducing their own tablets, many of them running on the Google Android OS:
- HP Slate: Runs on Windows 7
- Asus Eee Tablet: Soon to be reveled, which may run on Google Android
- Notion Ink Tablet: Runs on Google Android
- Google/HTC Tablet: Rumors in the market is that Google and HTC are developing a Google tablet to run on Google Android.

I am not going to buy one. No camera whats the point ? cannot play FB games !?? this is a shit computer.
I want one. looks cool. cant wait for it to come to malaysia. singapore when ?
will wait and see what others say....sure got others things to complain. maybe got other brans better and cheaper
too bad cannot play flash games. how come apple didn't this of this ? cannot multitask also :(
You pay what you get! Sure no such thing because the ipad price coz tooo cheap!! Try to compare with HP TX2 or Dell XT2! So the iPad is Cheap and multitouch is better! if you want camera then you can buy iPhone. Why buy iPad?
Actually seeing how popular notebooks are now and how we used the web for 90% of what we are doing on a computer the tablet could kick the paradigm shift into high gear!! Yes it will be a limited business device but as a consumer device the sky is the limit!! It's like a big iPod with a docking station that allow it to be a desktop computer as well. It'll have graphics acceleration so you'll be able to game on it and it'll prob dual boot to windows. It's a slam dunk!!
thanks for the review. i'm not sure if i'd get one cause its more like a toy without the basic features i need.
Will wait and see for 2nd generation... :D
Otherwise, for the supposed price, still prefer to get a netbook as the netbook can do a lot more, i.e. some with in-built webcam.
Anyway, it's a cool device.
yes,i agree, i think the 2nd generation gonna support adobe flash and camera. if iPod have a camera, why iPad haven't? :D
I honestly think, the iPad is just the beginning. The people @ Apple are geniuses, you can't just pass judgement, they obviously are going to evolve this machine in time, so chill. camera, i'm sure it'll come. i dont think it would fit to make phone calls, it would be too big of a phone for anyone to carry around, hence the iPhone. iPad is basically made for surfing. games are especially designed for ipad are on the apps store. you people are expecting too much from this slim machine. if you wanna play fb games, might as well use your existing laptop. nobody needs your negative remarks, if you're such a genius, invent your own machine.
apple's strategy. iPad only for those who have Iphone can make phone calls and take pictures.
its a revolutionary device! this is a movement!
and its a new category! im certainly gonna get one! who the hell are talking about phone calls? this is not a phone they already made an iphone! go get one fools! coz i got one the camera and calling is awesome! its actually the coolest phone out there! the only thing i thin to be improved is the multi-tasking! we sure will see that in the near future!
Wow, I guess this is the beginning of the end for laptops and netbooks. I'm sure Ipad will evolve in the future.
I still can remember when the desktops was new. And now an A4 paper with a whole new world inside it... Time sure moves quick.
u still can call out using wifi phones.. VOIP.. from panda
wtf..! the point is do u have a money or not..if u dont have just shut up ok! this things is just for the someone who want to be like bullshit people.. ^-~ lol..
Dear Seaman, obviously you're in the no $ category..==' and asking yourself shut up?
Guys, it is iPad. It is itself not others, has it's own identity.Think about it.I looking at it as a revolution of environment friendly paperless. And it is something gonna be a more personal machine compare to a phone because of the apps that an iPhone can't give. Yes, it is still new, a lot of apps is not been explored yet. But many, many unbelievable things coming up next, just wait and see guys. Many criticism I saw on top, don't you think all this tiny dirt size thought already concerned by Apple guys before you? Give something better to think kids. Ok, some how criticism is good to kick ass duh. Apple is not beatable, they don't look at themself in the 'competition' anyway, because they are the Leader..Bravo Apple gems
iPad is going to be a revolutionary product. Apple definitely came up with a new concept. They need to include few more features like
1. Office
2. HD / Projector connectivity.
3. In-built camera
Hey You just have to buy the USB cable so you can have it big screen. And yes. I do agree with the adobe. You should check it out urself Before you say things on The malaysian life. I presume that you have no rights so discourage the people.
Apple Product Haters = pennyless people who rant and rant about how "overpriced" Apple products are.
Try finding a netbook/laptop which is as thin with 10 hours battery life.
Oh and by the way, 4.0 supports multitasking.. so yeah, it's definitely evolving :D
The ipad is shit. Its over-priced and hyped. I think all you apple suckers are happy to make Jobs rich with his "revolutionary product" that nobody really needs.
@Apple Slave
You should be more impartial about your opinion of the iPad. Yes, may be evolving but it currently does not cater for the needs of everyone. The price might be affordable but its limiting features doesn't make it worthwhile for everyone to get it.
