Apple iPad announced

The reason behind no Flash, is because Flash is the devil.

It uses way too many resources, it's not updated across multiple OS's enough, it's closed source, and there's always security risks.

Now Adobe want Apple to open up parts of the OS for Flash, Apple are refusing because it comprismises the security of their devices.

Hence why it's not on the iPhone and iPad.

Plus, there is no reason for Flash and Apple are pushing for the HTML5 standards which is much better than Flash.

Now if you want to complain about things, people need to make sure as to why they aren't doing some things.

As for everyone else complaining, it's a PC forum, people complain about Apple because they feel it's too expensive and too pretty.
They ignore the fact that they integrate hardware themselves, software and make a complete package. Which is why you see no other devices that remotely work as well with Software and Hardware and Integrate things so easily.

As for the other missing things, they kind of suck, but remember this is the first revision, and it's something they haven't done for a long long time, so it will definitely improve.

Even if you are using this purely as a Desktop device with the kick stand, to view photos, manage your calendar, listen to music and check your emails, it's a far nicer option then going a full blown computer, when a lot of people just use it to check emails and manage their day.

There IS a market for it, it's just some people bitch and moan because no one else has done it as good as Apple, and the name automatically means they should hate them.

Because obviously they have no brain in their head to have their own thought and analyze as to whether or not the device is actually good.

 

Thank you Finchwizard for explaining about flash support.

And developers seem so be happy and excited about the iPad

Weird that you want to use plethora of wireless gadgets when they could integrate stuff in the tablet. Smart phones offer better features, this is totally unacceptable for a tablet.

Come on... Even you don't believe that.

 

How cool, a printer and DSLR etc inbuilt in the tablet. Yes I want one

 

I didn't meant that of course. It lacks many things that should be standard stuff for tablets.

 

So what is standards among tablets? There are so many released at the moment.

 

I find it rather funny how they defined the "market" for this device. It's supposed to be a step up from a netbook, crappier than a MacBook (which I suppose is a huge effort in-and-of itself), and similar to an iPod Touch. I think they'd have been better off making a monitor that hooks up to the iPod Touch and/or iPhone as it'd be far better than this junk. It lacks features that the iPod Touch has, costs more, and only has a bigger screen to show for it. I fail to see innovation what-so-ever. Although you don't need to really innovate to figure out that you don't remove features from a product, give it a mark up, and call it new (or in their case "Magical").

Provided this device lives long enough to see a 2nd or 3rd iteration I'm sure it'll eventually have all the features it should have started off with, much like how the iPhone finally became what it should have been once the 3GS and OS 3.0 came out. Only took, what, 3 years for that to happen? I'm sure plenty of the brainwashed masses will buy their stuff since they seem to be marketing gods and little more. How a POS like the original iPhone enough lasted long enough to get to 2nd gen is a bit of a mystery to me.
