I am not telling you why i’m not going to buy this or that priduct – but the ipad will be right for a lot of people who have other criteria than yours. – why keep throwing excrement in Apple’s direction – unless you feel threatened to the core by the courage of their actions?

should the louvre be burned to the ground just because some peasants really hate art?

The iPad is nothing more than an oversized iPhone, but it can’t accept phone calls! Well, you can use Skype for phone calls but you can’t use the 3G connection for normal calls. Talk about a crippled product!

If I were to buy an Apple product it would be the iPad Nano…ummm, I mean iPhone…over the iPad. Same functionality in a much smaller device. Although I would buy neither. There are many other more innovative, better products on the market.

you’re talking to someone who preferred adobe livemotion but carried on with flash. why couldn’t adobe develop both in parallel and had to kill the more intuitive of the two programs? i do agree that there is some very creative flash content. and why don’t apple revive it – will they offer an alternative to flash in a future update? i propose a package called iCreate – has that been registered already? if not – then there should be a simple set of powerful graphics tools – like a modern version of macpaint and macdraw. apple should drop some of their badly misguided products such as iphoto – and accpet that picasa will be a natural choice for most. so will be sketchup 3d and google docs – so apple ought to concentrate on that which noone else does better. it used to be graphics programs once!

I have no sympathy for adobe especially after they’ve made their tools into bloated monsters – i used photoshop 2 and illustrator 88 so i’ve seen their “progression” as they force more overcomplicated “features” down our throats – creeping featurism at its worst.

i agree with those who think that apple have lost their way. if they wanted to justify their reputation as a graphics computer, then they really ought to go along with my idea for iCreate – replacing all adobe products and a include a kind of livemotion that opens basic .swf files – forget about the actionscripts and lingos – just a simple elegant vector/pixel drawing program that one could use with an ipad while sitting on a train – like mac paint and mac draw if anyone remember – except updated and marketed as iCreate! you heard it here first! Alias had a great idea with their Sketchbook – do something like it for the ipad and provide some compatibility with flash.

Even Macromedia director and clickworks had their strong points – perhaps apple should provide the whole adobe collection but simplified and revolutionised in ways that adobe are too heavy to do by themselves.

i could go on about flash. Oh, before I forget – why isn’t there a SCSI connection on the iPad?

I agree with Moses, flash is not going away. Apple is just trying to push their own technology, which isn’t that innovative. Not supporting Flash, Apple is sending a big middle finger to all flash enabled sites and the people who create them. And for Apple to make a tablet that is so crippled isn’t innovative. There are many other tablets out there that are much better than the iPad. Just like there are many other devices out there much better than the iPhone. Don’t believe all of the Apple hype. This is coming from an Apple technician.

zee, from your posts you seem like the type of person that thinks they’re better than everyone else. Get off of your high horse.

Your case sucks.

@zee, don’t call the other guy a fag, it makes yourself look stupid.
