I love seeing this post grow sideways, as a lot of people have called me stupid because I am disappointed that I cannot see a lot of video. I never once said I wanted to give up my iPad. What the whole post started out as was a fact stating of my personal feelings on what I thought were the shortcomings of the iPad to me and a quest to any possible solutions to these. Again never once did I even hint that I wanted to dump it. Posters beware this is my personal opinion.
Rarely do I find or buy a product that I feel is perfect, or that could not be improved, many times the products have what I would consider major flaws but they still fulfill a primary need better than any other product out there. Case in point, my 2008 jeep, it is underpowered and does not do great on gas milage, and only fits 2 in the back seat. I still love it, but I do acknowledge these shortcomings as there is no other car out there that does what I want better. So what I am saying is that life is a tradeoff, sometimes you have to accept some flaws in order to get something you want, this is my take on the iPad.
Now if you are one of the posters out there that wants to preach that the iPad is perfect and no accept that there is room for improvement, good for you, put it under your pillow at night after kissing it goodnight if it makes you happy. When the next version of the iPad comes out and has a built in camera, does not drop your Internet connection and so forth tell Steve jobs he can keep it as you felt the current one was perfect.
Personally I would rather see the flaws, point them out in hopes that some of them can be fixed, but to get them fixed Steve needs to hear from us what we expect out of the next one, trust me he wants to build a better one so we will all want to upgrade.
Oh and btw, I do know that jeep makes a 4 door jeep that fits 3 in the back, I had one, but that is again a tradeoff, the engine is the same, just with the 4 door you have more weight and so the lack of power is worse and so is the gas milage. So again, I traded off the 3 rd passenger in the back for a bit better power and slightly better gas milage. Good tradeoff? For me yes
