I saw this thread hoping it'd be like an Apple apartment, with interactive touchscreen walls, because that would be awesome. The reality was disappointing.
the first one will suck and then after every yuppie with a big bank account goes out to buy one, they'll fix it up and put out a second version and the shitty ones will flood craigslist.

just sayin.
Just what I thought - maybe by iPad G3 or so, they'll be worth buying.

No camera.
No Flash video support.
No changeable battery.
No TV subscription
No flash video.

No flash video.

No, just let that sink in a little.
I should mention that I don't really know what that means. I just read a review
Any site that has a pretty animation, any site that has video, any site etc etc. So like, 99% of the interwebs.
I'm not usually one to defend an Apple product, but If that new version of HTML(can't recall the name at the second, HTML5 or something?) that doesn't require Flash to play videos becomes common place (which the Safari browser already has support for), will that be such an issue? I mean there are plenty of other things I dislike about the iPad that I'd rather just get a netbook for if I really wanted something like it, but no Flash video support seems like it might be a non-issue eventually. Yeah, I know, eventually.

The article I read mentioned that the version of Safari on it doesn't support Flash.

Yeah, I meant that Safari has built in support for the new version of HTML code that allows for embedded video without the need for Flash. You're right, I wasn't very clear.
Flash is evil and needs to be purged from the face of the Earth. I don't care much for Apple or anything they make, but I have to applaud them for this.

Unjustified rage powers the internet. So every time you use logic, a lolcat dies.
