iPad A Disappointment: Last night saw the launch of Apple iPad but contrary to the expectations of Steve Jobs, the gadget received more silence than ovation.

The launch for the ‘super gadget’ was marketed as being better than a smart phone and a laptop by Jobs but without flash, the gadget doesn’t meet the promise of being better than a smart phone and a laptop. The launch of the iPad left the market so disappointed that Apple’s shares dropped frequently.

However, people who were expecting a lot more from the iPad were much disappointed because AT&T has been selected as the only 3G carrier for the iPad tablet.

The features missing in the iPad that made it a disappointment are:

• iPad USB ports – USB ports in this iPad are absent, so a person can’t plug in his USB drive to transfer photos to it

• iPad Camera – No camera is present on the front or back of the iPad.

• iPad Multi-tasking – Multi-tasking is unacceptable for a Tablet having a starting price-point of $499 so it is not present in it

• iPad Flash – As Apple won’t approve Flash player so no flash support is present there

The iPad is less svelte than fans expected it to be. The home screen of the iPad features icons that are weirdly spaced-out, resulting in many people to comment that the gadget is in fact a really biggg iPhone.
