a true iPad killer

It doesn't exist yet.

A true iPad killer can easily exist:
- 10 inch screen
- much lighter, soft touch plastic back ala nexus one
- usb port and card reader for transferring files in
- cloud synching with google services
- multitask!!!!!
- light ARM based CPU, a tegra or snapdragon
- 1-2GB of ram
- Battery of at least 5 hours, the max a person will use it at any one time.
- Android

Once this exist, I will sell iPad and will not turn back

ipad month 1

Following my previous rants (http://t3ch-sp0t.blogspot.com/2010/05/ipad-day-1.html), I think I have settled on my final impressions on the ipad.

I am not that angry anymore on my inability to easily copy over my music, videos, data, and basically anything I want to consume that I already own pre buying the ipad.

I've basically given up on holding it like I envisioned I would when I bought it.
Apple's decision to make it an aluminium tablet is typical style over substance that unfortunately typifies Apple's approach nowadays.
As long as the item is shiny, it is enough to get you on the impulse buying side of your brains.
There is no justification in actually using an aluminium construction.
It weighs it down, it reduces reception, and it is bloody cold on your skin on a typical winter day.
iPad is too heavy to be used for a long time comfortably due to cosmetic reasons alone.

I've also given up on trying to multitask on the thing even with the help of Backgrounder from the jailbreaking community.
The paltry ram on it (256MB) is too small beyond belief.
The iPad has to draw about 4 times more pixels on the screen and it has the same amount of memory as the iPhone 3GS, and half of the high end Android smartphones!
Half the RAM of a smartphone..,. and let that word sync in...
So Apple splashes on the aluminium back while skimping back on the amount of RAM that you can get on the iPad.

What does the lack of RAM means to a typical user?
Open up 3 web tabs, exit, run a game, chat, or whatever, go back to your web browser, and what do you know, the pages needs to be reloaded again. Lucky you if you have unsaved form or email on that browser.

However, among the dark clouds there are a few ray of light that brighten the landscape a little bit though not enough...
Some apps are brilliant, like Air Video which solves my movie converting problem hands down elegantly
A1 and Atomic Web Browser that saves me from the awful browsing experience of Mobile Safari, and Backgrounder from the jailbreaking community that saves me from the insanity of reopening my document from scratch every time.

I have pretty much given up having the ipad as a photo and music hub, the process of connecting to itunes to transfer every single time puts me off it.
In the age of cloud and wireless synching, what does Apple do?
Bans it off the App store of course.

Here's Apple's philosophy for you:

We want you to live the way we tell you to, we know what's good for you...
Everybody else that threatens to give a credible alternative to what we provide you deserves to be destroyed with impunity
As long as it is shiny it is good...

iPad, hardly a magical and revolutionary device
