10 Potential Flaws to Watch For

Although Apple has stuck with the 9.7-inch display with all three iPads, the new tablet is facing off with products that go a step furthermore, boasting a 10.1-inch offering. Even though that might not seem like a lot, the difference is quite noticeable. And when trying to view video or scroll through a Web page, it's an issue. Apple should have delivered a bigger Retina Display in the new iPad.

Arguably one of the new iPad's biggest flaws is its lack of available ports. There is no USB port on the new iPad, nor a place to plug a High-Definition Multimedia Interface cable directly into the tablet. Instead, Apple forces clients to buy adapters that can hook into the device's Dock connector. When will Apple in short offer ports in its iPad?

Due to Apple's desire for secrecy, the company doesn't tip its product plans to many developers earlier an announcement. That has historically resulted in developers being behind Apple in bringing programs to the market that can match the device's functionality. As of this writing, for instance, a shockingly small number of apps fully take advantage of Apple's Retina Display.

According to some new iPad owners, the device has some trouble connecting to WiFi signals, and in part, doesn't allow users to even get on the Web through WiFi. In my experience, the iPad has connected to WiFi networks without any trouble, nevertheless it's something to meanwhile keep in mind earlier making a purchase.

The new iPad

Before Apple launched the new iPad, just about everyone thought that the device would come with Siri support. Unfortunately, Apple didn't go that far, and decided instead to offer voice dictation from the device. During that feature works exceedingly then, it's no Siri. And that's a problem.

Apple's new iPad ships with iOS 5.1, an operating system that undoubtedly gets the job done and behaves the way clients would want, however doesn't break any new ground in the mobile space. For those who are used to iOS and happy with its functionality, that's a good thing. Yet those who want something other than the same old iOS feel will be sorely disappointed by the software.
