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?

Have you?

But yes I have I work in IT and I have have access to many Laptops and netbooks in our company, and we have to test the hardware to match the CEO's and Vice Presidents demands.

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??

Also why pay 500 dollars for an iPad when I have an iPhone? Thank you. My netbook was 270 bucks after mail-rebate of 40 dollars. Which was almost a year ago.

Again I said you haven't read other threads. dmaul has said he never had issues, Sonists owns macs and said she never has issues. I mean really you are just repeating Steve Jobs with no backup.

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

.

Erm again you fail with that point. Netbooks have sim cards too. Seach MSI Wind. Hell Search MSI Wind 9 hours. Really do you know anything? Do research before you try to be funny and say something does not exist. It's called 9 cell batteries. Seriously if you went to google you probably wouldn't embarrass yourself like that.

The wind has an eco mode set in the bios that allows you to use less battery and get up to nine hours.

Also if I bought iPad wifi i would need a seperate device as well. What a horrible argument.

Also another misconception. Flash is not just a video player. That is all.[

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.

That was not directed towards you that was directed to people who only think flash is a video. on the Droid that kind of stuff pops up on a window overlapping (not flash stuff of course, but certain rollover adds) But where is your proof it doesn't work well? I don't have proof it works well so you can't say it as fact. Again just repeating Steve Jobs open letter.

Also I didn't really want to get into your mobile devices argument, because really Blackberry as how big of an install base, and the internet hasn't changed. So you think because Apple now has an install base in the smartphone market it is going to change now? That is why I said I am not including Phones in the argument. There are many windows mobile phones, many android phones, Palm OS, etc, and no one was talking about the end of flash then. Steve Jobs targeted netbooks when he was announcing the iPad, not smartphones.
