Why I Will Not Buy an IPad.



Okay, so there's this new craze about everyone wanting an IPad because its cute, sleek, hi-tech, susyal, and all the ravings and some rants. So, I asked myself this question: Given that I have the money (which I don't, but don't take this as sourgraping), will I buy an IPad?


The answer is a big NO!! But wait there's more!


1. The size is too small for a screen and integrated keypad. You feel like Carpal tunnel syndrome in the works.


2. 9.7 inch Screen is too small for my ever-growing eye problem. I want my screen the bigger, the better.


3. So what if it has Wifi-capability and 3g, my cellphone already has that!


4. It has a digital compass. What? I got lost in the woods I have to have my IPad with me????


5. Fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating. I have a very oily fingers, and its ok if it's oil resistant, but they didn't even include a FREE wiping cloth?


6. Support for display of multiple languages and characters simultaneously. I only speak English and Tagalog.


7. It can last 10 hours surfing, but its thin! It will heat up eventually and fry the innards.


8. Supports TV and video. If I want to watch a TV, I'll use a regular TV set.


9. Capacity, it supports 16 - 32GB Flash drive...What the? do they know that one DVD movie is already 4gigs???? and no hard disk??


There are other features which the IPad "boasts" of, but for the price I can buy a more flexible laptop or better yet, I'll buy a high-end PC. But then again, Windows sucks too! But that's another story....
