Don't worry, the negative nancies will find another thing to bitch and moan about. Thank god there is the whole "no multitasking and flash" to generate fake outrage and anger amongst the malcontent for months to come.

what's so great about this ?
HTML 5 is part of Windows 7 you know since you can actually CHOOSE YOUR FUCKING web browser.

Just... you know it can read 720p and 1080p too...
it has dx11.
flash.

Python
Java
ruby

yeah. because it was impossible to watch Netflix & ABC Videos before the iPad

/sarcasm]]>Apr 1st 2010 8:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/netflix-abc-and-1-348-more-ipad-approved-apps-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/netflix-abc-and-1-348-more-ipad-approved-apps-revealed/Windows 7 does not mean it has/does not have these features. Win7 is CAPABLE of these things, yes, but the underlying HARDWARE, DRIVERS, and APPLICATIONS limit the OS functionality.

For example, no netbook under $650 that I can find online can play back H.264 video at native resolution (let alone 720p/1080p). Not even Core2 Duo machine with Intel GMA-HD chipsets can do 1080p natively, they only do 720p and 1080i. Most netbooks can't even do fullscreen flash, out of the box, before you start adding background apps, helpers, security software, and other performance sapping subprograms. ]]>Apr 1st 2010 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/netflix-abc-and-1-348-more-ipad-approved-apps-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/netflix-abc-and-1-348-more-ipad-approved-apps-revealed/
It's not about the device(s). It's not even about the company per se. It's about the closed and controlled content and software distribution model. You tell me I can put anything I want onto the device without it being vetted by Apple or pumped through the bloatware that is iTunes and I'd be right in line behind you (if I needed such a device).

Jailbreak it you say? Why should I have to? Why should I have to void warranty and support just to put my own preferred content and software onto it?

Apple once again sets the bar high with marketing and hype. Here we have basic capabilities for any $500+ tablet/notebook/netbook. When you can stream LOST through a Windows 7 notebook nobody cares. But when you release an ABC.com iPad App that can stream LOST well that deserves it's own post. Same goes with Netflix. Who hasn't been watching instantly on their notebook for years now. All of a sudden the iPad gets an app for it and the "magical" device scores another big win. It's a must have device.]]>Apr 1st 2010 3:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/netflix-abc-and-1-348-more-ipad-approved-apps-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/netflix-abc-and-1-348-more-ipad-approved-apps-revealed/Apr 1st 2010 3:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/netflix-abc-and-1-348-more-ipad-approved-apps-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/netflix-abc-and-1-348-more-ipad-approved-apps-revealed/All magical devices have 100x mojo on engadget]]>Apr 1st 2010 3:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/netflix-abc-and-1-348-more-ipad-approved-apps-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/netflix-abc-and-1-348-more-ipad-approved-apps-revealed/

I'm irritated by Apple's marketing as much as the next guy, but this is news because there's been so much speculation about whether or not the iPad would be able to handle streaming from sites such as Netflix and Hulu.

On a side note, I owned two Netbooks and they sucked for streaming video (though to be fair newer models may do better). More to the point, though I could do a lot with them, they were sluggish and I really disliked the tiny trackpads (I had even chosen an Asus 1000 for its larger-then-most trackpad, but it was still an underwhelming experience).

To each his own, but I actually look forward to trying the upcoming tablets, including the iPad.

Because iPad is brand by Apple which have good quality and fashion design.

Beside with 499$ price tag you can't find competitive product in the market with same IPS screen and battery life. No even mention the batter software user experience.

Don't tell me the crappy netbook can give me same user experience.
The apple hater should just shut-up, no body care how cheap netbook is. Function spec doesn't mean anything if you provide poor quality and user experience ]]>Apr 1st 2010 4:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/netflix-abc-and-1-348-more-ipad-approved-apps-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/netflix-abc-and-1-348-more-ipad-approved-apps-revealed/Apr 1st 2010 4:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/netflix-abc-and-1-348-more-ipad-approved-apps-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/netflix-abc-and-1-348-more-ipad-approved-apps-revealed/Apr 1st 2010 4:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/netflix-abc-and-1-348-more-ipad-approved-apps-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/netflix-abc-and-1-348-more-ipad-approved-apps-revealed/"But when you release an ABC.com iPad App that can stream LOST well that deserves it's own post.

anyone who owns a netbook - I own a Sony vaio x with easily the best specs in the market today and streaming sucks. It's total BS that netbooks can handle hulu and netflix streaming. They can't. Not watchable!

As for black bars, most movies are shot in 2:35:1 aspect ratio or so, no computer monitor or netbook has that ratio so anything in original aspect ratio will have bars.

Are Apple haters mostly idiots? I am inclined to think do..... ]]>Apr 1st 2010 6:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/netflix-abc-and-1-348-more-ipad-approved-apps-revealed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/netflix-abc-and-1-348-more-ipad-approved-apps-revealed/
