And your CEO's and VP's demand battery performance from flash sites? You are the one that has said you have seen no difference. Systems resources are directly related to battery performance and the flash player utilizes a lot of system resources.

Yes he goes to a lot of stock sites which run flash, watches a lot of videos of marketing ads. I said Flash doesn't kill as quickly as some people make it out to be.

Why did you pay what you paid for a netbook when I assume you have a laptop and/or desktop? Or are you the only person in IT who works solely from a netbook? Perhaps you wanted other features? You have a droid and a iPhone, why is it a stretch to have an iPad with an iPhone? Lots of people do.

You know what they say about assumptions. My netbook replaced my dead M140laptop. I want an iPad, but I am not paying 500 bucks for it. What are people not allowed to wait for it to get cheaper? I mean seriously. My desktop is used for heavy things like programming gaming, and downloading things that are in the gigabytes of size. I have a work laptop that I use at work. My netbook is for everything else.

Why pay 500 bucks when they only thing it has that the iPhone doesn't is iBooks (at least what I care about).

And you're refuting him with nothing more then anecdotal evidence.

i'll give you that one.

Here you go, I googled your battery and found a test. Who's embarrassed now? Wow, less then 9 hours, who would have though?

And that battery costs $180.00, more then a third the price of a iPad for more then 25% less performance based on actual tests (all tests I have seen have been well over the claimed 10)

Second one down. Good job only looking at the first hit.

Also the battery is 50 bucks.

I never disputed iPad battery life. And that article just confirms what I said about the length. Never said iPad was bad.

What separate device would you need? A computer? You already said you have one of those.

What seperate device did you need for a netbook? Come on listen to your own arguments. And I meant a wireless router since that is what I thought you meant, but now I beleive you meant a USB modem.

First off, common sense. It's pretty hard to deal with hover overs when hover overs are impossible on a touch screen. But if you don't believe me, here's a professionals comments.

Thanks for the tip on Google! This is the first I have heard of it but it's preventing me a lot of embarrassment!!

WHY iPad can't handle not all touch devices. Like I said flash is never going to be on iPad, but I hate seeing people giving out wrong advice about flash.

Wait until Android 2.2 and Flash 10.1 comes out before you say it won't work. You don't know that until you see it.
