The iPad has been one of the most anticipated products for the year 2010. Months before it came out, there were heated debates as well as exhilaration until tablet computer came out in April of 2010. Within 80 days of its release, over 3 million devices had been sold.
Now that the iPad is in the hands of consumers, we can get real unbiased reviews on just how much the iPad lives up to it former hype. Before looking into consumer reviews, let's discuss it's features - for there are many.
It has screen display of 1024x768. It features a touch screen display that can be changed to landscape or portrait mode. There is 256 MB of ram and the storage comes in 16 GB, 34GB or 64GB. Consumers have the option of a Wi-Fi connection or for a greater cost; they can select the Wi-Fi + 3G model.
Additionally, Apple's new toy comes with built-in Bluetooth and internal speakers .For software, the iPad is fully loaded with applications like Safari (web browser), Spotlight Search, iPod, App Store (with over 225,000 downloadable applications), Maps, iWork, iBooks and more.
Though with all the benefits offered, within the iPad community there are a list of common complaints. One issue is that many of the applications crash; applications such as Netflix, iTunes and other big name sources. Customers are also complaining that when it comes to multi-tasking, it falls short. Now users are not able to use more than two apps at a time, one common complaint is the inability to listen to music while working.
Its keyboard also doesn't make the cut when it comes to ergonomics, but those who own a notebook will probably transition more smoothly, especially if they utilise the landscape mode.
Then there seems to be a recurring issue with connectivity. Many users have stated that their signal goes from strong to weak, for no reason. Some have even compared it with other Apple products such as the iPhone and notice that while the iPhone signal stays strong and steady, the iPad does not.
Finally, there is the issue of the Photo app. This is the number one complaint brought up by its users. The problem seems to be the extremely slow synching with high-resolution photos. Then any photo that is larger than 2304 x 1536 will get optimized and the photo will take on a squished appearance.
This article isn't to bash this gadget as there are a lot of good features. No doubt that the large amount of complaints coming from iPad users is reaching the Apple's ears and they are probably working around the clock to fix the issues. Customer satisfaction is key for any business. But there are complaints about it, ones that cannot be ignored, especially considering the high price tag for one these devices. Right now, the gadget is simply not comparable to laptop or notebook functionality. Users will still have to use other products, services or software to get what they want.
One example would include using another service for photos. PhotoBox is a wonderful online photo editing company that has had years of customer satisfaction and have received countless awards. Uploading is quick and easy. You can save photo albums for private or public viewing. You have a wide choice of editing features and when you're finished, you can print or put in an order and get speedy delivery, on . You can get your images on T-shirts, canvas prints, coasters and so much more. While the iPad definitely has its appeal, when it comes to individual features there are still others who do it better.
