    I bet it's incredible to hold, make you feel like you're on Star Trek. I just wish it had phone calls.

    Dude, do you actually trade stocks? Buy the rumor, sell the news. Check stock prices on AAPL after many of its events...sometimes it spikes, sometimes it sells off - at least that's my recollection from when I used to trade it.



    Besides, the whole market has been on a downtrend for a week now..I wouldn't read too much into the iPad's future sales based on your snapshot evaluation of the current stock price.

    Troll or not, 1 post whatever. Everything he wrote is true though...

    Well, it's a wait and see for me. I'm interested, but with the iPhone I wanted one as soon as I saw it, this I'm not sure.



    It might be great, or I feel it might be a MacBook Air, which I never quite got the point of. Looking forwards to it being in the Apple store so I can go and have a play with it.

    He brought logical reasons to the table as to why flash isn't "dead tech." What have you brought?



    If you're going to engage in a debate, simply calling someone a troll and then providing no substantial reasoning for your viewpoint will result in a very boring conversation.



    I get into this sort of thing with people on youtube. You have an opinion different than theirs, they call you a name, you ask for a better response, they never return lol

    No hand recognition for homework or note-taking. Nothing really must-have about it.



    Cute, but I'll stick with my Touch and Macbook.

    Why? Because if you can imagine it, it's possible to make in Flash.



    Tell me how HTML 5 Plans to accomplish THIS.



    Do I need to mention the legion of creative professionals whose work benefits from motion? Don't waste my time with that tweener animation crap that jQuery brings to the table for forms. It's not truly interactive.



    Google is starting to index it. Flash now supports deep-linking. Bing doesn't, but who cares about Bing? Silverlight is a Hulu novelty.



    Your, and Apple's mistake, is to continue to think Flash is a video codec.



    If you use Flash correctly, it's a interactive movie in the form of a website that cannot be replicated by lesser, traditional technologies.



    HTML5? Are you serious? I suppose you think 99% of users will be able to see CSS3 content tomorrow, too?



    I couldn't agree with you more. Not to mention that it is completely frustrating to go to a website that may have useful information and all you see is a flash plugin. How is that a better browsing experience?

    No new OS for the iPhone, no multitasking, no camera, stuck on AT&T's network for the time being. No thanks.

    Is there a $200 price difference for 64GB flash memory (compared to 16GB)? Otherwise, why the difference, I wonder.



    I do think it is a problem for it to not have a camera. That is surprising.

    Porn, not porn? ;P



    In all honesty, I personally do mostly just reading anymore, but places like hulu are probably the most flash-tastic places I visit.
