hmm.. in 1981 people said "apple is history.. in 1982 people said "apple is going under".. in 1983 people said "apple is done for".. yet apple is still here too.
jobs can say a lot of things. doesn't mean he's right. doesn't mean he's wrong. but he does manage to sell a hell of a lot of products.
still isn't going to bring flash to the ipad.
you know, if adobe really wanted to get flash out in the public for people to play with they could have released it via cydia by now. the jailbreakers would have all scooped it up. the media would have had opportunities to test and report on it and apple would have looked the fool after ~1M (according to cydia statistics) people did get a chance to use flash on their iDevice. that certainly would have been some pressure.
i don't recall jobs telling any company what to do. all jobs has said is he will not allow flash on apple's devices and his reasons why.
as for overheating ipads, so tell us great designer, how would you fix it? add a fan? where? you do realize that's going to add noise and drain the battery. add some vents where things could creep in? as i said in another thread, it will be interesting to see how other designers handle the heat issue, because it's going to affect every tablet out there.
as for the OS. jailbreak your iphone/ipad and play with the unix OS that actually drives it. you didn't actually think the springboard was the OS did you? unix is a "defacto-standard" (posix too!) has multitasking, and most people consider it "real"
