8 disappointments in new iPad
Apple's new iPad comes with a bunch of new features including Retina display, better than best HD display, a new processor, bigger battery and an array of technology advances.
However, perfectionists still find a few things missing in what can unarguably be billed as the world's best tablet.
While Apple has augmented the new iPad with a faster chip, improved camera and voice-dictation feature, many Apple lovers were disappointed as they were hoping to see a newly-designed, completely revamped iPad after a wait of over a year.
The new iPad has indeed missed out a few features that topped the wish list of Apple fanboys. Here's a quick look at all that new iPad has missed.
One of the sorely missed features in the new iPad is Siri, Apple's popular voice-controlled personal assistant software that made its debut last year with the launch of iPhone 4S. It was expected that iOS 5.1 will bring Siri to the new iPad.
Apple's speech-controlled assistant, which can do everything from taking dictation for text messages and entering calendar appointments to answering general knowledge questions, is regarded as a key factor in iPhone 4S' success. Though Apple has nearly doubled the capacity of the battery, taking it from 25Wh in iPad 2 to a massive 42Wh in the new iPad, the battery life of the device stays the same: about 10 hours (9 hours on 4G).
That's because Apple has quadrupled the screen resolution, which in turn requires far more computing power. Another thing which gets thumbs down is no change in screen size. The new iPad retains the same screen size of iPad 2 and the first-gen iPad at 9.7 inches diagonally.

It was widely speculated that the new iPad will be available in more that one screen sizes. Several reports had suggested that Apple was indeed working on a mini iPad this time, but that remains a mirage.
