It has been months since the launch of iPad. And, I think it is the best time to write an article on it because iPad users are now using it from few months and know the limitations of iPad more accurately and precisely then before. Besides being a lighter, slimmer and stylish version of Netbook, iPad can easily satisfy the needs of a common Netbook user, but still iPad has its own limitations too. Here we’ve compiled a list of things which iPads can’t do for you. But before jumping on the list, here are the few caveats, I’ve not used iPad personally and the list I’ve compiled is based on the personal experiences of my friends and colleagues.
Limited memory – No matter what iPad model you choose, every iPad model comes with a finite memory - 16Gb, 32Gb, or 64Gb. It means that you have to work within that memory. There is no way by which you can upgrade the memory of your iPad. So if you want to use iPad as an alternative to store your files then you should think again, because you won’t be able to store that much in it.
No USB ports – Although, this is the era of cloud computing. You can easily store your files on Google docs, esnips and other free or paid file sharing sites. But it doesn’t reduce the importance of USB ports. People need to connect flash drives when they want to transfer data from their one PC to another without internet connections. So, if you are like me, and frequently transfer data from one hard drive to another then iPad is not a good alternative for you.
No camera – The other thing which makes an iPad completely useless is that it doesn’t have an inbuilt camera (webcam). You can’t do video chatting with your friends/family with iPad. This is the biggest reason due to which most of the people are not buying iPads. iPad work well with applications like Skype but that is of no use because you can’t do a video chat with them on Skype.
No Multitasking – Yes you have read correctly iPad can’t do multitasking. It means that you can’t write a document and chat with your friend at the same time. You can’t listen to music and check your email at the same time. This is the biggest reason that iPad is not a good option for professionals.
No HDMI Out – The other thing that sucks about iPad is that there is no way to watch HD videos that you downloaded on your iPad on your laptop or PC. It means that at the maximum only two people can watch a video on iPad at one time.
Not Flexible – Apple has created iPad for its commercial use. You can only run those applications on iPad which you buy or rent from Apple application store. Although, Netbooks and Laptops are not as stylish as iPad but still you can run any application of your choice on them.
