The bad of the iPad

I do not write for Applecol from several months. The truth is that time reasons me it prevent. First of all the boom that caused the exit of the iPad and quite what has been said, have to write is brought in of opinion.
For many years one speak about a tablet done by Apple, an iTablet. There were many tracks that were indicating that the entry to the market of this product, months question was alone. Important journalists and bloggers they were anticipated and began giving technical specifications of what would be the new Apple invention. Size of the screen, processor, operating and enclosed system, prices. In the end the majority they turned out to be wrong and Jobs left with his.

As faithful user Macintosh for approximately ten years, I must say that the iPad does not convince me. Perhaps he was waiting much more, that usually happens. What surprises me is that Apple always overcomes our expectations or at least mine, and this product did not do it.
After seeing the whole stream of the Keynote of Steve Jobs, the first impression that I have left was that the iPad is an iPod giant Touch. I was imagining it to myself covering a modified version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard where one had the dock, files and folders as well as in a Mac. That light applications for Mac, could execute in the iPad. I never went so far as to think that it would be almost the same one YOU of the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Another thing that made me bored with the iPad is that it does not bring camera. Nowadays up to the most basic cell phone it brings one, and quite I imagined less that it separates this one it did not have it. What happened to them? Do I forget them? I am sure that the future versions of the iPad will bring one.

The third reason for which the iPad did not convince me completely, is for his screen. The following thing there is going to be a translation of this entry of TUAW. It turns out that his dimensions are of 1024×768 pixels, in a proportion of 4:3. Our TV sets you take shape and LCDs has a proportion of 16:19. That is to say that to see a movie in way widescreen would give us black bars above and below of the GREEN lines in the graph.
To see a movie that is not widescreen, would give us black bars above and below of the BLUE lines in the graph. Most of movies filmed in way widescreen, that is to say, those of proportion 2:35:1, might only be seen in the RED area of the graph. Even worse, videos cannot be seen in the highest definition 1080p because simply the pixels do not reach.

Para terminar, creo que se apresuraron en lanzar este producto al mercado. La prensa norteamericana le ha dado ‘palo’ al nombre iPad y la verdad es que suena poco Apple. También se siente poco Apple en la manera como se ven los iconos en la pantalla del iPad. El fondo que viene por defecto, para mi es totalmente horrible.
