    Hi guys,
    These are the flaws……

    MULTI-TASKING :

    You can’t listen to music while writing an email. If this is the replacement for netbooks, how can it not support multi-tasking ?

    CAMERA:

    No front- or back-facing camera. So there is no scope for video chatting on the iPad

    KEYBOARD:

    It has the same touchscreen keyboard, and unless you’re lying on the couch with your knees propping it up, it’ll be awkward to use

    HDMI OUT:

    Want to watch those HD videos you downloaded on TV? Too bad, the gadget doesn’t have the option

    FLASH SUPPORT:

    It will leave huge holes in websites, especially if you are into those streaming videos on web pages

    USB SOCKET:

    If you want to plug anything into this, such as a digital camera, you need all sorts of adapters

    WIDESCREEN:

    Movies will look lousy on the iPad’s 4:3 screen. It’s like owning a 20th century TV all over again!
