You said "mobile devices" and last time I checked the 50 Million iphones and milion plus ipads are all mobile devices. Excuse me for not realizing you were really referring to a non existent device (an android tablet) and stating that is a mobile device but ignoring hte majority of mobile devices.

I have never seen that in my usings of laptops and netbooks.

So you've taken two, brand new, identically spec'd laptops or netbooks, ran a flash site on one and and another process on a second and let them go until the battery died? And you didn't see a difference?

And you must have a custom built netbook that handles flash differently then every other comptuer on the planet. That must be worth some serious bucks!! Why are you waiting until the price comes down on an iPad??

OK, sorry, 1/3rd less battery and twice the weight (and I can't connect anywhere unless I buy a separate device and lock into a contract). And why do I doubt you actually get 9 hours? Oh, that's right, you have a 'special' netbook.

As I said before this flash argument needs to die the iPad will never have it so people should stop harping on it, and people need to stop just repeating what Jobs says about flash.

Also another misconception. Flash is not just a video player. That is all.[/QUOTE]
I certainly didn't say it was only a video player, in fact, the fact that it isn't only a video player is another MAJOR reason it won't work well on a touch device. Most flash apps require mouse overs, pretty difficult to do on a touch device.
