MSNBC takes a look at 13 of the iPad's shortcomings, you can read it
over here.
Awkward size, not easy to carry around
It's heavy, it's much heavier than devices like the Amazon Kindle
It's too slippery
The screen has too much glare
The screen can't be read in sunlight
Fingerprints, the big display easily gets dirty
No multitasking support
The browser has limited functionality, with no Flash support and no ability to create Google Documents
The virtual keyboard sucks
Lack of USB support
Apps that were released for the iPhone don't look horrible, images and text have to be stretched and look very pixelated.
It's too expensive
It's in a class all its own and doesn't replace anything. It won't replace your smartphone, it's not a replacement for your laptop and it's not a good eBook reader either.
