- jodrellblank 17y agoEverything? You forgot serial port, CDROM, spade, bookshelf, engine, pharmacy and a trillion other things. Your list isn't an objective "everything it's missing", it's a subjective "what you wish the ipad to have". Question is, do you wish that unreservedly, or only if it could be done without 'ruining it'?
- julio_the_squid 17y agoBy definition, 'what you wish the iPad to have that it does not have' equals 'what the iPad is missing'. If I expected it to operate as a razor and it could not while other similar devices did have that feature, then yes, I would say shaving capability was missing. That doesn't mean every irrelevant concept I can come up with would be called missing, though. 'Missing' is based on what one would expect, desire and can get elsewhere.
- rimantas 17y agoCool. Now we have a choice: for those who spent most time interacting with UI when browsing, reading and playing some games there is iPad, and for those who spent most of the time plugging stuff into USB ports, expanding memory, running around taking pictures with slate in hand there is HP slate. My guess is that people will never stop judging quality of cameras by Mpx count and devices by features list. Sadly, both metrics are mostly useless.
