Apart from docking connector, no other external media like hard drive, USB drive or camera can be connected to iPad directly. No X-fer from these devices directly.

Only special Apple dock & Keyboard can be connected to iPad which retails for US$69.

The iPad does not allow multitasking.Even the mobile phones few years back have multitasking capabilities and iPad doesnt have it.

The iPad does not support Adobe Flash, the popular internet video and animation standard. About 50 to 70% of websites now a days use Flash. Apple excluded Flash support in the iPad because it’s a resource hog and would slow down the device & It could also be seen as a security risk.

You cannot add more memory, upgrade the RAM or the processor.

Anything that you purchase is DRM protected, which means you cannot share it.

It does not have any direct video outputs, though video out can be enabled in much the same way as an iPhone of iPod Touch – using additional cables which you have to pay extra for.

AVI or DivX video files on it wont be able to play without some conversion. The videos will have to be converted to a supported format (MP4) and in a supported bit rate and resolution first, then transferred to the device using a PC or MAC (iTunes).

iPad has a screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio while everything now a days have gone 16:9 widescreen.

Apple has launched a Mouse which is called as the Magic Mouse, The world’s first Multi-Touch mouse.It began with iPhone. It can be added to any Bluetooth-enabled Mac for a Multi-Touch makeover.Features of this Magic Mouse :

Seamless Multi-Touch Surface

Magic Mouse with its low-profile design and seamless top shell is very sleek and dramatically different, with smooth & buttonless appearance. The Multi-Touch area covers the top surface of Magic Mouse, and the mouse itself is the button. Scroll in any direction with one finger, swipe through web pages and photos with two, and click and double-click anywhere. Inside Magic Mouse is a chip that tells it exactly what you want to do. Which means Magic Mouse won’t confuse a scroll with a swipe. It even knows when you’re just resting your hand on it.

Laser-Tracking Engine

Magic Mouse uses powerful laser tracking that’s far more sensitive and responsive on more surfaces than traditional optical tracking. That means it tracks with precision on nearly every surface  whether it’s a table at your favorite cafe or the desk in your home office without the need for a mousepad.

Wireless

Magic Mouse connects wirelessly to your Mac via Bluetooth, so there’s no wire or separate adapter to worry about. Pair Magic Mouse with your Bluetooth-enabled Mac and enjoy a reliable and secure connection up to 33 feet away. When you combine Magic Mouse with the Apple Wireless Keyboard, you create a workspace free of annoying cables. A quick flick of the on/off switch helps conserve battery power while Magic Mouse is tucked in your bag. Even when it’s on, Magic Mouse manages power efficiently, by detecting periods of inactivity automatically.

Make one great gesture after another.

Multi-Touch technology on the iPhone and iPod touch introduced a breakthrough way to interact with your content. Magic Mouse, with its Multi-Touch surface, does the same thing for your Mac. When you use gestures, it’s as if you’re touching what’s on your screen. For instance, swiping through web pages in Safari gives you the feeling of flicking through pages in a magazine. And scrolling with Magic Mouse isn’t your everyday scrolling. It supports momentum scrolling (similar to iPhone and iPod touch), where the scrolling speed is dictated by how fast or slowly you perform the gesture.

• Click

  Magic Mouse is an advanced point-and-click mouse that lets you click and double-click anywhere on its Multi-Touch surface.

• Two-button click

  Magic Mouse functions as a two-button mouse when you enable Secondary Click in System Preferences. Left-handed users can reassign left and right click, as well.

• 360° scroll

  Brush one finger along the Multi-Touch surface to scroll in any direction and to pan a full 360 degrees.

• Screen zoom

  Hold down the Control key on your keyboard and scroll with one finger on Magic Mouse to enlarge items on your screen.

• Two-finger swipe

  Using two fingers, swipe left and right along the Multi-Touch surface to advance through pages in Safari or browse photos in iPhoto.

System Requirements

• Bluetooth-enabled Mac computer
• Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0* or Mac OS X v10.6.1 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0

It is now included with every new iMac. And available on its own for just $69.Pity its just for Mac users, i wanted it for my PC too.Although very costly but still the piece of gadget you must not wish to miss.
