The Apple Tablet

Re: The Apple Tablet

TBH I think Flash is useless on mobile hardware that are mostly utilitarian and the usage is more information based than experiential. But it's still ridiculous for Jobs to snub something that's pretty much a web standard these days. What's he gonna snub next? AJAX? Because it doesn't run well on his hardware? It's a fine line to becoming a tech nazi.

Anyway isn't the deal with Apple and Flash is that Jobs reckons the Lite Player isn't good enough for the Flash experiences he want replicated on his mobile devices, and he's waiting for a player with better performance, rather than him having a vendetta against Flash?

It will replace my Kindle, and 3rd party development will extend the device to do things we can’t even dream up right now. I, for one, welcome our new iPad overlord - but then again I’m a card carrying fanboy.

Re: The Apple Tablet

i am a mac fanboy and i agree with everything feather and mr. jenks have said. this thing is useless... get an itouch people.

my macbook pro replaced my desktop... both my windows desktop and my imac... (windows desktop was given to my parents and the imac was sold to give way for my led tv)

i was really interested in getting one of these UNTIL i read about the no multifunctionality and that it is not a computer at all but an itouch. cant customize anything, cant drag windows, cant download stuff etc.. the more that its not like a computer, the more i didnt want to get it.

i have my macbook pro and thats all i need.

not to thread jack or anything... but i got the Samsung LED TV Series 8500 46'' (now discontinued due to patent rights). its a full array led back light rather than only the 4 corners like other LED tv's. amazing picture quality. now i just need a sub-500$ 3-piece audio setup... dont feel like going the full 5 or 7 speakers..

[floridaorange]

Re: The Apple Tablet

no...youtube works fine on Itouch...Itouch doesn't have flash either.

Re: The Apple Tablet

What I mean is that youtube actually is flash and it runs fine on all of the apple gadgets.

Why does it work and other flash based stuff doesnt.
