I have been meaning to write a blog about this thought as well but techcrunch beat it to me. Here is the link to a great article: http://techcrunch.com/2010/07/17/why-i’m-craigslisting-my-ipads. I completely agree with every word in this article and here are few more supporting facts:
- Lack of flash: Every evening (pretty much) I sit down with my iPad and within 15 minutes I end up at a website which has flash and I have to move to me real computer (macbook Pro). Even websites that dont have video are using flash for interactive experience and without flash my web surfing experience remains incomplete (as it stands today)
- History of web pages visited and books mark sharing: Firefox launched a plugin yesterday but I dont use firefox. At work during the day, I get tons of interesting links which I want to revisit in evening and they are not in email so in evening there is no way to find the, other than my work laptop. This is an area where apple should focus so that there is information sharing between multiple devices. Firefox home is an iphone extension to do the same.
- no multitasking and tabbed browsing: I dont need to elaborate this for all you readers. This is purely painful.
I really think ipad should run general purpose OS and that will solve all my pain
