does it?? i cant imagine why they don't have the needed features, especially the camera.. i want a gadget that has camera, for convenience. I'll just check this stuff if i win on the promo i saw on a site. this is for a new iPad. wanna join? here it is: http://www.jobsdb.com.ph/PH/EN/StaticContentFullC... i think Apple can handle these demands from their costumers about their products. i know that they can produce a new and more advanced product soon

Its an epic fail for me. I was hoping for a scaled-down Mac and not a scaled-up iPod Touch. Even if it can play HD, how much HD video can you squeeze in a tiny storage?

But the iPod had its criticisms when it came out around 10 years ago. Lets what will happen to the iPad.

No GPS

No Camera (with LED Flash)

No Multitasking

No OLED Screen

An extremely disappointing 256 MB of RAM!

No Additional Touch Gestures

No Videocalling/conferencing/iChat

The enormous bezel is a massive eyesore. I thought Apple was all about design, so how they could make such a large and fugly bezel for a premier device escapes me.

No Handwriting Recognition or Support for a Stylus. A huge selling point of any Tablet is to be able to take notes in classes and such.

No Wireless Syncing or File Transfers

No File Management or Freedom to download files (even documents) from online

No Ability to run custom Apps not preapproved by Apple and sold via the App Store

A Very Low Resolution Display with 25% fewer PPPs than the iPhone or iPod Touch

No integrated TV antenna or Radio antenna (They even developed a HD DTV Tuner for use in cellphones to allow users to pick up OTA HDTV signals on the go! Why they didn't include this technology in this device I won't understand)

No Video Out

According to Apple's page on the product, the maximum resolution it is capable of playing MPEG4s at is 640×480 resolution at 30 fps. Not even HD! It features a 1 Ghz processor that significantly slower than just about every single notebook on the market today.

No OTA Sync With Apple TV or Servers To Stream Video

No Low Reflective Screen Mode for high contrast Ebook Reading that doesn't hurt your eyes

Only 64 mbs of HDD space

No Gamepad attachment for Gaming With Physical Buttons/Tactile Feedback

No ability to connect to a bluetooth mouse/keyboard

No RFID/IR to use it as a remote, or to tag it to yourself

No Replacable/Removable Batteries

No Java or Flash support (no hulu.com)

No USB Port (can't hook it up to a printer to print off an iWorks project, cant connect a USB key that has some documents stored etc)

No ability to connect to an extrernal hdd, or even to pop in an SDCard Slot
