Especially if Android 2.2 comes out and has flash built in for mobile devices, and works great, then there is no death bed here. .

It's funny that you say the iPad is not the stake by comparing Andorid 2.2 yet you fail to take into account the 50 million iPhones sold, the millions of touches, and the millions more of all of those that will be sold this year. That is certainly a big enough market for companies to migrate away from an old technology.

You are wrong. Open up your system tools and look how much system resources are being used when the flash player is running, the battery ABSOLUTELY drains much faster.

As I said, look at your system resources. You are the only one that has ever said it doesn't drain the battery faster, it's not even debatable.

If I get an iPad (waiting for a price drop, or hitting the lottery lol), I am mostly going to use it for an E-reader, possibly netflix, and of course some gaming apps. Probably won't use it much for browsing at all, that is what my netbook is for.

I have a feeling if you get one, you will use it for browsing. Why would you have a hot heavy notebook when you can do the same thing with an elegeant touch device that is less then 1/3rd the weight and 3x the battery life.
