Right Engadget? Right?

Oh.. wait.. pinch-to-zoom in google stock apps is more important than flash. Yeah. Sure it is.]]>Jan 27th 2010 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apples-ipad-keeping-adobe-flash-away-from-your-couch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apples-ipad-keeping-adobe-flash-away-from-your-couch/
Flash is a hot mess. Why are you all pretending like it's some sorta big deal?

The last time I saw flash was in an annoying web ad. I haven't had a use for it nor have I missed it on my iPhone. I've never encountered a situation where I absolutely needed to have Flash asap and that led me to curse Jobs and Apple.

Again this is just you anti apple losers desperate for straws. Nitpicking to the death.

Yet you've already lost since this table will be the #1 seller out there among tablets.

And that's just KILLS YOU. It makes you angry that Apple will succeed where the other pc makers have failed.]]>Jan 27th 2010 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apples-ipad-keeping-adobe-flash-away-from-your-couch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apples-ipad-keeping-adobe-flash-away-from-your-couch/Jan 27th 2010 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apples-ipad-keeping-adobe-flash-away-from-your-couch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apples-ipad-keeping-adobe-flash-away-from-your-couch/

That makes Steve a sad boss]]>Jan 27th 2010 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apples-ipad-keeping-adobe-flash-away-from-your-couch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apples-ipad-keeping-adobe-flash-away-from-your-couch/Just because you don't use one of the thousands of sites that deliver rich media content via flash doesn't mean millions of other people don't.
This will only be a best seller if people fail to do their research and suck in the Apple propaganda about this tablet being come sort of "invention".

Cons:
No Flash support. Don't care to hear the excuses. Make a deal and make it work. Don't care if iPhone does not support Flash but this thing needs it to not limit our web experience especially since approximately 40% of content is Flash based.

Screen not 16:9 widescreen. 10 hours of HD playback? Yeah 10 hours of letter boxed messed up aspect ratio playback. Real elegant.

No word in presentation if network printing functionality is present. For example can we open iWork and print document via wireless to our net printer?

Be cool if you could draw with this thing with a stylus but we all know all you can do is use your whiffing fingers. Artists left out to dry.

No surprises. It's just what everyone speculated it would be.

Pros:
Keyboard support

So who is this device really for? Seems for only Apple evangelists for now.

"Better luck next time, Adobe!"? Are you kidding me? Who writes this crap? Better luck next time Apple is spot on. They are the ones limiting content and they are the ones who will loose sales.

You're.. just.. urgh. Why would you compare a mobile device like this to a game console?

That's like saying my TI-82 calculator shouldn't be able to run programs because my calculator watch can't.

Or it's like saying 'Time to go swimming' and standing in your bathtub with the shower on. Both use water, right? Both hold water, right? Xbox and iPad are both electronic right? MAKES PERFECT SENSE, RIGHT?

Oh wait no.]]>Jan 27th 2010 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apples-ipad-keeping-adobe-flash-away-from-your-couch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apples-ipad-keeping-adobe-flash-away-from-your-couch/
Thats the only smart thing you've ever posted here. You are exactly right, the iPad isn't a PC or a Mac...it is a limited device which performs only what Apple allows.

Apple's "It Just Works" tagline doesn't include the bit about "...because you can only do what we tell you you can do".]]>Jan 28th 2010 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apples-ipad-keeping-adobe-flash-away-from-your-couch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apples-ipad-keeping-adobe-flash-away-from-your-couch/Jan 27th 2010 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apples-ipad-keeping-adobe-flash-away-from-your-couch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/apples-ipad-keeping-adobe-flash-away-from-your-couch/

Flash may be a bag of hurt. But it's all over the goddamn internet.
