Apple IPAD Misses or Cons

  1. Ipad lacks a Camera feature even though its in between a Smartphone and Laptop
  2. With iPad coming in 16, 32 and 64 GB versions, But does not have a SD card slot for additional storage
  3. IPAD does not support Flash content(as of now, maybe apps would fill that gap)
  4. Multi tasking options are missing, ie toggling between using Web and music or video is not possible, one at a time
  5. There is no facility for HDMI output in iPad.
  6. A different adapter required for any external device like cam, keyboard.

Overall its a GREAT product with a decent price and great features, lets see how it captures the market and if it really turns out to be a Kindle Killer.
