Computer for the Lazy (Quick iPad Review)

Monday, 10 May 2010

Good

  1. Starts instantly
  2. Is damned fast
  3. Is small, but not too small, is thin and light
  4. Subtle sound and animation design compensate for lack of tactile feeling
  5. The computer almost disappears
  6. Battery lasts a long time

Bad

  1. Mac or PC computer is needed in order to use one (or it won’t even start)
  2. Stupid political border and legalese-based access to applications
  3. Software installed ultimately controlled by one company (Apple)
  4. Synchronization functionality currently severely limited (you need to do it through damned iTunes)
  5. No in-page search in Safari (argh!!)
  6. No included PDF and text file dedicated viewer and editor
  7. No camera yet
  8. The line-height of the first line of each chapter in Winnie the Pooh is wrong
