iPad

Apple iPad. release to the public on the 5th of April. Basically it's a bigger iPhone. How did Steve Jobs get this idea? According to my conspiracy theory, it's an e-book + iPhone. majority of the american schoolers got themselves an e-book as an replacement for the conventional text book that we once used. The market for e-books are huge. So the intention is to monopolize the e-book market. it sold 300, 000 units on it's first day.
The iPad runs on HTML5 instead of flash. HTML5 is still new but it's much less complicated than flash. The problem is that there isn't any website that runs on HTML5 but just weeks before the launching, dozens of websites started HTML5 compatibility.
iPad is the future. Or is it? literally yes. practically no. Well, theoretically it's gonna replace the netbooks product line as the performance and capability are no much different. Netbooks will eventually die in 1 or 2 more years. The evolution of technology brings humans to a new trend of using a computer.
The major issue of the iPad is the keypad. It's much bigger than an iPhone so u can't only use ur thumbs. if the screen's viewing angle is straight to your face, your wrist are breaking at an awkward angle to type on the screen. If you flatten the surface like a keyboard, the screen-already reduced in practical display real estate - starts to be obscure by your hands. So how? external keyboard? that would be a hassle. If it were me, i'll install a laser projected virtual keyboard into the iPad.
iPad lacks a webcam. I want video calls.
Although it uses its new A4 processor which remains secretive from the public, it's just a single core ARM Cortex A8 processor which performs like POWERVR SGX535 GPU (cracked by Chipworks). The iPhone uses ARM Cortex A8 processor but at lower clock speed. The POWERVR SGX535 GPU is what's on the iPhone 3GS. It should have used ARM's dual-core 1.5Ghz to knock out all existing netbooks.
there's much more to improve a tablet
