An Uneducated Look at the I-Pad

I haven't read a lot about the I-pad, but I think it's a waste of money. Of course, like the title says, I'm no expert, so don't pay too much attention. Anyway, one of the comments that I hear about the formerly known "Tablet" is that's similar to an I-phone, but bigger. And that's my first critique, why would anyone buy something bigger that doesn't do as much as the smaller alternative? When most people want to consolidate their technology (i.e. phones that can multi task instead of an digital organizer and a phone!), Apple believes that the I-pad will be a huge hit. But you can read books in it, people will say. We already have other products that can do that, and they're not as expensive (the I-pad cost about $500). Another problem: no multitasking. If I could send e-mails, browse the web, or even use it as a word processor and the same time listen to music, I may give it a try. It doesn't even have a camera to share pictures or send them to a cell phone or a computer...my Blackberry can do more! How about the fact that it doesn't have a removable battery? Disappointing, to say the least. So, if there is a problem with the I-pad battery, you will need to take it to Apple! The list goes on... but let me share this picture... it will give you an idea why I'm not sold on it ... not yet.
