DRAWBACKS:
The next generation computer without USB Ports, Built-In camera, Flash Support and Multi-tasking accessibility sounds really pathetic. The storage capacity which can not be increased, is another notable failure in the iPad.
Despite having a number of defects, somehow, the iPad has still managed to rule the techno-world. That is because of the remarkable features that are included in it and it has proved itself to be more attractive to the people than any other tablet PC out there in the market.
