Laptop or Desktop is better because Ipad doesn't have Flash Player

You're kidding me right? Like... You're joking... RIGHT?! Who in right minds would make a "revolutionary experience," and not have it support Flash? >_>

Actually, that's easy. Obviously, Apple makes no flash games, and they want as much money as they can get. So, by not putting flash player on there, you are forced to buy Apple's games or games made by companies directly working with Apple. It's a good marketing strategy, but a bit of a nuisance to customers.

Before you start blasting Apple for this azn, keep in mind that any company would do this, Microsoft included.

Honestly, i find the iPad a copy of the iPhone. Or is it? I dunno, you tell me....

[MICrophone]

It's more of a combination of an iPod Touch and a computer. I don't honestly know all the details, but I can tell you that the iPad does Word Processing, which obviously is a feature you'd find on a computer, but the iPad also does have many of the features of the iPod Touch.

Have I even said anything against Apple at all yet? I'm just saying, without Flash, people wouldn't go out and buy games made by Apple. (Which btw, please tell me what they are.) Wouldn't they just simply buy a desktop? I mean, Flash isn't just for games. A lot of websites use Flash for just videos and such. By making the IPad not Flash playable, it's killing a good deal of the internet.

Here's the deal: This isn't really targeted at kids. This product is meant for the working man, who can take adventure of the many features such as word processing while also having an item more portable than a laptop. So if it doesn't have flash, oh well. In theory, the working man isn't playing flash games…

And I only said that as a precaution azn…

Well... Think about it. Is this thing truly that portable? I mean, it's not like you can just jam it into your pocket. It's a slight to big for that. So of course you would have to fit it in some sort of carrying case. But at that point, wouldn't it just be simpler to buy a Macbook and carry that around? I mean, it's not like the Mac is that much larger or that much of a burden to carry. It would be able to have all the capabilities of the IPad and a slight bit more.
