I would add the oft forgotten, but nevertheless important and common on the web, Java - the iPad cannot run Java applets embedded in web pages.

... Maybe Apple should hand a pamphlet out to prospective buyers.
We all appreciate the barrage of snide remarks.

Yet, Apple has always ran ads which at least imply that the iPad/iPhone does everything a normal browser can do. They were forced to pull down similarly misleading iPhone ads in England in 2008.

See "Misleading Apple iPhone ad banned in the UK"

"...The ASA said the express nature of the claim would lead viewers to expect Flash and Java support, as such it rejected Apple's defence and declared the ad - created by long-time agency TBWA/Chiat/Day - to be misleading."
