The iPad is a nice device, but it's too limited and the issue Apple will face are competitors creating similar devices but without the limitations. |
The problem being though that currently removing THOSE limits introduces OTHER limits!
add usb port, HDMI out, higher resolution screen,equals heavier machine and higher cost.
add multitasking, flash = shorter battery life
those are two very big selling points to the user!
THAT is why Apple have focused on a very simple form of device that is NOT and was never intented to be a full fledged portable computer, but IS an effective media web video reading device. the tablet PC market is clearly not what Apple are aiming at.
adding all of the above would add no value to the product for me and many basic users that want this device for movies music and apps but WOULD reduce battery and increase Weight/Size that would be imo a stupid move.
