After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
Overall I'm kind of happy with the iPad, but it has some very annoying limitations:
- I hate having to plug it into a computer for sync. And it can't sync and charge at the same time. So despite having a proprietary connector, Apple still can't figure out how to sync and charge. Get a clue!
- Still no podcast subscriptions on the device and it will not auto update podcasts in the background - like a 1st gen ipod. Serious lack of innovation there.
- Multitasking is not very good. I'm used to apps running in the background in my Droid X.
- Screens are a mess and there are no widgets
- No expandable memory and I'm down to 2GB, so I have no more room for photos or music.
- Not having Flash playback seriously cripples web surfing
I guess I got spoiled by how Android sync and updates everything wirelessly and in the background with no effort on my part. I'll be switching to an Android tablet once Honeycomb comes out.
