I do agree. But as a non IT person/non-Tech Head, at the end of the day I just want my gadgets to "just work."

That's been Apples big tag line of the years, but I feel like they're getting away...

That is the law a lot of places. Say you find a wallet in target and take it (and the money in it) rather than taking it to Customer Service. You could be charged with a crime if you somehow got...

Fair enough. Like I say, down the road it may be a moot point. Maybe by the time the 2nd gen or 3rd Gen iPad enough sites will have switched that it doesn't matter.

Right now if I wanted a...

Agreed, I sometimes have the low light issues with my Kindle as well.

I just don't read enough (novels anyway) to buy an iPad just for that reason. I do like reading on my girlfriend's iPad...

Oh it's great that they support HTML5 for sure.

It's just of no use to people who want an iPad right now but want all their video sites, online games etc. to work.

So saying they support HTML5...

Fair enough. I considered buying one as well (my girlfriend has one, so I've played around with it as well). But for now I'll stick with my Kindle for reading, as I really want a tablet that's more...

Yeah, the key question is whether Flash kills battery any faster than other types of streaming video software. If it does (and it's a MAJOR difference), then it's a fair point. If not, then it's...

Individual critics?--reading of reviews has probably gone down.

But people definitely check the aggregate review sites like Rotten Tomatoes, Meta Critic etc.

Reasonably fair right up.

But at the end of the day, all that matters for users is that sites that use Flash won't work on the iPad. End users have no reason to care about Apple's justifications...

I think the problem was more the tone of your first posts. It really came across as attacking Apple like they had mislead you and sold you a device that didn't fit your needs.

You'd have gotten a...

You're just taking this too seriously.

It's just a list of things various people (not myself or any one specific person) might expect/want in a tablet device that the ipad lacks.

Hasn't changed at all. Only have a Kindle, and I'd always pay no more than $9.99 for an e-book--and less if there was a cheaper paper back version available.

Thus far, I've had good luck and all...

If you're going to shell out $500+ for a gadget, you have to do a little research and make sure it fits your needs.

1. He also pointed out that one can't access the iPads file system--which is still true.
