The ipad should be killing the ipad, I admit it has a good screen and it's slick to play with.....but then it falls flat. Apple should be giving them away for free because you need to spend so much money in the itunes store before you can even use it. 499 for a big itouch with triple the price for the apps? and yet in another month they would have convinced almost a million people to do it.....That's magical.
Hey good one! A joke about the ipad being magical! Comedic gold! This post was about the joojoo, and you felt the need to make a comment expressing your ipad hatred?
The ipad should be killing the ipad? What does that even mean?
Now, let me just reiterate your business model so I understand it. apple should give ipads away because of how much money ipad users need to spend in itunes before they can use it. Brilliant.
Triple the price for the apps? Do you even know what you're talking about.
"and yet in another month they would have convinced almost a million people to do it" Do what exactly?
Please stop staining the message boards with your comments.
Apple is brilliant... They have convinced the dullards to overpay for their crippled product with limited functions. The same itouch/iphone apps are triple the price on the ipad because they put an HD next to it. Get your head out of Jobs arse for a minute and you will see this. And while you are at it tell me why apple is anti flash? hmm...
The ipad is a consumption device... plain and simple.. The only way to consume is to buy the food at the itunes store... What is so hard about this?
Use it for what exactly? Surf the half internet? So without spending any money in itunes what can you do with this magical pad you spent all that money on?
Wake up.. you have been brainwashed. Its pretty simple. Why do you think you cant use flash? Because if you could you would be able to play flash games and watch video's that apple doesnt get a cut of.
Think of it like this. It is like the cable company giving you a free cable tv receiver. But you cant use it without paying for their programming packages. Now if the cable company asked you to pay 499 for that receiver you would be all upset.
If the simple business model of apple is too much for you to understand than i give up. When the pimple faced kid at the nerd store sells you the next ipad see if he can throw in some free lube this time. You will need it.
Dude this article is about the Jojo fail tablet, not about your frustration with Apple.
You go and read up on apple's site about the reasons why it does not support flash, the CEO has actually thought this through, unlike you.
I dont want flash, I surf the full internet without flash and don't miss the bloated ads at all. Also I prefer real optimized native games above flash games.
You are too far gone to help... But i will try one last time. Apple doesnt make money off of you when you dont buy the games from the itunes store. You with me so far? Flash has both games and video all over the internet... Please keep up... If you could play them and watch them you would be able to avoid paying the ransom apple charges for them....Are you still with me? Apple doesnt want that because they want to make money from everything you do....Almost done keep up..... So Jobs comes out with a million statement about how bad flash is because he would never say greed is why apple doesnt allow you to use flash.......
What is amazing is how easy people like you are at convincing. I remember when Apple wouldnt allow iphone users to send picture messages. All the fanboys would try to convince me they didnt need or want it because apple didnt allow it... sad...
@superonyx Dude, you be very sad and go cry in a corner. In the meantime we enjoy our Apple gadgets. Have you actually used an Apple product? I dont think so, you seem to be too ignorant to try. I surf the full internet, watch all videos, play lots of high quality games without paying a single dime. So stop spewing your lies and propaganda on these boards.
@superonyx Other than the complete idiocy you demonstrate everywhere else. This argument that flash is about the app store is ridiculous. What is worse, is people like you who just want to play free flash games and never make the dev's more than 3 dollars in a 5 year period, purport to love these games and their developers but wouldnt spend a dim on the app store supporting them.
In short, your a self serving asshole who doesnt know jack about computers past running your WOW patcher. So you should probably just shut up like 90% of the completely inane and stupid people on these boards. Or go back to championing some other product already on a downward slide.
Such passion. I guess i hit a nerve with you. The truth is apple doesnt like flash for this reason alone. They dont make money from users getting free content on the internet. But i guess you choose to show what a sheep you are by believing what Jobs says. I guess when he said the 2g iphone isnt capable of video capture you believed that crap also. Even though my 2g jailbroken iphone was capturing video way before your idol jobs allowed you to do it. It has to be tough to have such a narrow way of thinking. Your lack of intellect blinds you from the truth behind apple. Its a business. Their purpose is to make as much money as possible. The app store a huge part of their business model and they will never support a format like flash because it potentially takes away from this..... But you know it all....so carry on..
@superonyx I don't understand why people constantly say "Apple doesn't allow flash because they want you to pay for games in iTunes instead of playing free Flash games"
There are a ton of free games and apps in the app store too, but they're native games/apps written for the iPhone, which work much better than any game written for a mouse/keyboard within a browser window. I concede that it's about control, but maybe that's good for the end user...
I'm a Droid user, and there are some buggy apps in the Market, because they don't have any quality control... There is no perfect solution to this problem
back on subject... the iPad is pretty nice from what time I've spent on one... I am waiting for the Adam (and was waiting to see what came of the Courier) but if that doesn't turn out well, we'll probably have an iPad sitting in our living room this fall to (hopefully) replace all of the magazines my wife likes to read...
@ general public Do you really think that all of the web developers will rewrite their site menus just because apple says so? And yes, the itampon is a resticted device. I can do 3x as many things as the ipad can do on my iPod touch.
During his WWDC keynote, Steve Jobs touted iCloud as a service that will sync many of your Apple devices, for free. Macs, iPhones, iPads, and even Windows computers can synchronize documents, contacts, calendar appointments, and other data.

@superonyx You are not making any sense at all. Are you on drugs?
@superonyx
What's wrong with big iPod Touch? If anything, Touch is the iPad Nano.

jobs isn't the only one that hates flash. Microsoft feels html5 is the future. bye bye flash

Here is what I did in 10 minutes with my "consumption" device. In short, you are an idiot.

I'm the idiot yet you wasted 10 minutes posting a picture on a message board to prove its not a consumption devise.....
Wow.
And its still just a consumption device.
@superonyx Hey superonyx, don't let logic, reason or facts get in the way of your one-man campaign to bring down apple and the ipad.
You go girl!
@vqro You're an idiot.
