Since its launch a few days ago, iPad has been the most talked gadget currently. While it is beautifully designed and contains many useful features, I feel some key features are missing.

• Camera – Omission of a camera in my opinion is a huge mistake. The iPad would be perfect for snapping and sharing photos with others, and for videoconferencing with friends and family.

• Universal Mail Inbox - People with several email accounts would find a little frustrated by the lack of unified inbox. To view e-mails from another account, you have to back out of the inbox you’re viewing, then go to the other account’s inbox.

• You can’t open a bunch of windows spread across the screen. You can’t  save files locally. The “Office” suite is lackluster for multi-document use. There’s no DVD drive.

• Email Attachments Are Trapped in Your Mailbox – You can’t view any mail attachments outside the iPhone’s e-mail app. The same holds true for the iPad.

• Built-in USB – lack of USB port is is another factor

• Blown-up iPhone Apps Aren’t Anti-aliased – As you may already know, the iPad can run all existing iPhone apps; you can run them at their iPhone-size in the center of your screen, or blown up to fill the screen. Unfortunately, Apple does nothing to smooth out the apps, so text and images look chunky.

We all know beginning of April every year is a funny day with thousands of April Fools jokes online. One of the jokes I have noticed this year is from internet giant Google.

April Fools’ morning, Google announced it was changing its name…to Topeka.

The gag comes one month after the real Topeka decided to temporarily change its name to Google. Topeka’s mayor signed a proclamation to help convince Google his city was the best place for its soon-to-be-launched broadband network.

Today, Google fired back, replacing its standard home page logo with the word “Topeka.” A photo showed the Google headquarters with a freshly updated sign. And a placard was even provided to help you learn the proper way to use the new name in conversation.
