Apple iPad

I have been reading about the newly revealed Apple iPad, and I am thinking, "do not want". Here's why:

• No on-board memory card slot
• No Adobe Flash support
• Closed OS--all apps must come from Apple store
• No camera--this thing should be able to do Skype out of the box
• No on-board USB ports
• No multi-tasking

This is because Apple decided to make the iPad basically an over-sized IPod Touch, not a shrunken Macbook. Myself, I'd be more interested in a scaled-down Macbook.

I predict this will be a disappointment for Apple, until they fix some of these flaws. Most people who would be interested in an iPad already have an iPhone, they won't see a compelling reason to get one.
