What about the iPad not having flash? Just today I couldn't access some material online on my iPhone from work. Ever an issue?

See if there is an iPad user forum. I couldn't imagine surfing sans Flash.

Asus Transformer TF201 Prime (quad core with Nvidia Tegra graphics)

Eee Pad | Transformer Prime

I'm waiting for the release of this with windows 8.

I like the keyboard. I hate typing on a tablet but when you add a keyboard, why not just get a laptop.

The I-pad 2 is now selling for only $399.

Apple iPad - New iPad and iPad 2 with Free Shipping - Apple Store (U.S.)

I didn't realize it was that cheap.

The problem with iOS though is that it doesn't support flash. I fucking HATE that. What good is it if you can't watch most of the internet's video content?

Yep. Didn't see this post before I made that last one.

No flash for Apple bro. As I understand it, it was about porn and Jobs not wanting it accessible on his products.

That is not what I heard or read....I believe that Steve Jobs didn't like Flash for the Ipad because he believed it was unstable technology, with sluggish performance, and had the potential to drain the battery very quickly. He also saw it as a potential back door for viruses and other nasty stuff.

Apple is extremely protective of all the apps that goes on the IPad. Android is a free-for-all platform so you take the good with the bad (viruses included). I for one am quite happy that Apple have kept it a closed platform - no need to worry about viruses or other threats...


that being said- you can view flash in the IPad and IPhone...

I'd go with a big sack of Percocets...But that's just me.

And a Midol or two for Unkotare and a few others.

Ok I see. And $5 for the subscription. Seems reasonable enough.
