This is a [...]]]> Apple’s ipad, a new iphone-esque mobile computing device, may have a lot of new features, but it still has a lot of features missing in it. Tej Kohli Blog enlists the 10 important features it does not have:

1. Flash: The ipad uses safari browser which doesn’t have flash, just like the iphone. This is a huge drawback.

2. No camera: It does not have a user facing camera to enable video conferencing/video chats. This feature was at top on the list of expected features, but apple disappointed users.

3. No multitasking: Even though apple has rearranged iPhone’s OS in a new way to work on the new apple iPad, it still fails to run the background processes. This again is a big detractor.

4. No Verizon: Verizon Wireless is not providing the 3G wireless service which comes as a choice with iPad. Instead of Verizon, AT&T is providing this service.

5. No wide screen display: Although you can watch HD movies on its 9.7-inches display, it fails to match the 16:9 standard screen dimension that many of the other modern devices support.

6. No Mac OS: The iPad works on a new processor A4, manufactured by the Apple itself. It runs at 1GHz, which appears suitable for an iPhone OS, but it doesn’t run the more efficient full OS X, something which would have really made the device rock.

7. No GPS: There is an accelerometer for a great gaming experience, but there is no GPS. This means Google Maps will have to rely on 3G and/or Wi-fi to locate the iPad. Too much to replace your smartphone.

8. Enough Storage: iPad can sync content with iTunes and users can add/remove content as they wish, but the maximum space of 64 GB is not sufficient, especially for those who are a lot into games, movies and music.

9.Removable Battery: Following the footsteps of iPhone and the newer laptops, which don’t have a user-removable battery.

10. No HDM1: It doesn’t feature an HDM1 port, which makes it incompatible with all the modern HDTVs.

Here is good news for all iPhone and iPod Touch users! Directed Electronics, the car security company, has introduced a brand new iPhone application, which would allow users to control parts of their Viper SmartStart-enabled vehicle from their iPhone or iPod Touch.

The application is called Viper SmartStart. It is somewhat similar to the Zipcar’s recently launched iPhone application, except that it works only with your personal car, and not the one you’ve hired for a short while. Like the Zipcar’s application, it too forms a virtual keychain control options that includes locking or unlocking your car, opening the trunk and turning on alarm. So, as long as you have your iPhone handy you don’t need to carry that extra keychain along.

SmartStart’s coolest feature is its ‘Smart Start’ button, displayed right at the center of the screen, which can start your car at one push. In simple terms, this feature allows you to defrost or cool off your car before getting in, provided that you set the climate controls at accurate levels the last time you were inside the car.

As the application utilizes the iPhone data connection to transmit the commands, it allows you to control your car/s from anywhere with 3G or EDGE connectivity. If you’re near a Wi-Fi network, you can also use it as a non-cellular data device like iPod Touch.

Though this application is available free of charge, you must have a Viper’s SmartStart system installed in each of the car/s you want to take control of. The new installation would cost you about $499. For those who already have a Viper Alarm System plus an active subscription to Viper’s SmartStart Service, the installation charges are about $299.

On getting the service installed, buyers also get a year of $29.99 service included in that, for which they have to pay afterwards.
