Today Apple announced their new “iPad.” Unfortunately, it sounds like a feminine hygiene product. And, not surprisingly, we saw a dip in Apple stock during the announcement, with a subsequent rebound.
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:
- Stylus support, I want to draw and write note damn it)
- Full OS Support, seriously, who wants to be constantly constrained by a walled garden?
- Flash, how can you release a device, and bill it as an “internet device” and not support flash. I hate flash, but it is everywhere. You cannot offer the full internet experience without it.
I would much rather pick up a “ModBook” from Axiotron, although they are way too expensive (almost $2,000).
