Apple Ipad has been launched on January 27, 2010 and before its releases many people said that it could beat kindle and also destroy nook. Can you believe that? By the way this Apple Ipad isn’t that small.
iPad is a device like a tablet PC with a 9.7-inch touch screen, but without a physical keyboard. Only half an inch thick, or about 1.34 inches and weighing 1.5 pounds or 0.68 pounds. Same operating system platform as ipod and equipped with iTunes to access thousands of applications, music, and video. In addition, Apple also added an application to access the iBook Store, that is similar service as iTunes but specializes in e-book.
Ipad can do many things better that Ipod but… Let’s see what this Ipad can’t do :
No Camera
There is no camera on Ipad and that means people can’t see your face during chat, or you can’t take your own pictures.
No Multitasking
This means you cannot listening music while you’re typing a document. Or you cannot update your facebook status while you’re sending email.
No High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
This means you will watching a bad quality video.
No flash plugin
This means you can’t visit youtube and play videos and also playing online flash games and visiting full flash animated website.
It’s Not Widescreen
This means you can’t expecting to have good quality picture if you’re watching wide screen dvd format on Ipad.
Closed Application
This means that if you’re using Ipad you can’t typing your document on Microsoft Word or using another browser except safari.
MICRO GSM Card
For 3G version of Ipad is using Micro GSM Card and the size of micro Gsm card is about 52% smaller than the regular sim card which mean it’s not for everyone.

Ever since yesterday’s debut of Apple’s iPad, the debate has been raging about what it means for Amazon’s Kindle. Will it kill it? Will it not?
