But that’s ok, because your cell phone does. Your laptop does too. As does your desktop PC these days if you are buying retail. Here’s the shocker though, even your camera has a camera these days. They think of everything, don’t they?
The lack of camera on the iPad may be a sign of prescience on Apple. They realize that there’s a saturation of random shit that takes grainy pictures of funny signs and babies, and decided to put one less breakable part into their product. The fact that they still sell classic iPods should be a signal that Apple’s goal isn’t to give you a one size fits all product, (though most devices certainly are, some are not, Apple TV anyone?). They build lean and potent machines designed for a moderate subset of tasks.
But that’s just the beginning of the complaints. It doesn’t do Flash, it doesn’t multitask, the storage is limited, doesn’t run OS X apps, and on and on and on.
They already made something that does ALL of that, it’s called the Macbook Air, and nobody bought it.
