			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today Apple announced their new &#8220;<a href="http://www.apple.com/ipad/">iPad</a>.&#8221; Unfortunately, it sounds like a feminine hygiene product. And, not surprisingly, we saw a dip in <a href="http://www.google.com/finance?client=ob&amp;q=NASDAQ:AAPL">Apple stock </a>during the announcement, with a subsequent rebound.</p>
<p>While I am glad that Apple is finally trying to hit reasonable price points, in this case, starting at $499. But, sadly this device is missing many fundamental features I would look for in a tablet:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Stylus support</strong>, I want to draw and write note damn it)</li>
<li><strong>Full OS Support</strong>, seriously, who wants to be constantly constrained by a walled garden?</li>
<li><strong>Flash</strong>, how can you release a device, and bill it as an &#8220;internet device&#8221; and not support flash. I hate flash, but it is everywhere. You cannot offer the full internet experience without it.</li>
</ul>
<p>I would much rather pick up a &#8220;<a href="http://www.axiotron.com/index.php?id=modbook">ModBook</a>&#8221; from Axiotron, although they are way too expensive (almost $2,000).</p>
