Apple iPad Second Gen

We all heard about the iPads, the newest tablet released by the Apple Company. Many of you already bought one ever since it first came out, or, even better (or worse!?), you were already on the waiting lists for months before the official launching. Sure, Apple knows about marketing and knows how to do good marketing in order to convince their buyers that this product is, in deed, revolutionary.

And in some aspects, Mr Steve Jobs, we agree with you. Your product is revolutionary, but far from ideal for now. The iPad seems to have a lot of limitations that were either conditioned by technology or implemented with a clear intention to address them in the second generation. Marketing, as we said before. Still, with no less than 300,000 copies sold in the first day of the official launching, in US only, it is far to say that many people won't buy a product just because they wait for the second, better version to come out. In the end, every time is the same: if you wait for too long for something better to come up, you might as well, in the end get nothing, as everything new and better will always show up, especially in terms of technology and gadgets.



But the Apple iPad tablet is no ordinary item. With its revolutionary concept, the iPad is the best merge between a notebook and a smartphone, not to mention it uses almost the same technology as the iPhones, so for previous users, the new gadget won't be hard learn with. With its glossy finishing, the glamorous design, the full touch screen technology and the lightness of it, no wonder many have seen in the latest iPad a new dimension towards multimedia products. Not to mention the battery that will allow you up to 10 hours of multimedia experiences, everywhere you might be. Still, if you want an iPad and not already purchased one, you might consider the second generation to come up, as the actual one lacks many things. First of all, the first generation doesn't even have a camera. So, if you are planning video conferences anytime soon, don't rely on this model of iPad.



Secondly, is the absence of the Adobe Flash support. Like the iPhones, one might still enjoy watching videos from Youtube on this gadget, but it is impossible to play flash games or surf on websites that use Flash in the menus. Not to mention that many Facebook applications (as in games, and I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about) run on Flash so iPad seems rather useless in these circumstances. Last but not least is the really annoying absence of multitasking, which means that you are unable to leave a window open, of any kind, and go check quickly another website. Still, we consider this only a marketing method that will keep potential buyers in the plan for the second generation of the iPad.
