How did you 'switch' to HTML5? Your browser should read it natively. |

And while the standard site has 3 quality settings, the HTML seems to be low quality only. |

Indeed, I too think the inclusion of this stuff on the Thrive is a great thing. Really, my first impression stands so far - could be a compelling tablet device which can actually help you get stuff done. |

You might still be excommunicated for posting that. Now matter how much you have endeared yourself with Steve previously.
And yes, I should add the big " ", otherwise someone will call for the moderators again when we joke around. Last edited by HansTWN; 07-13-2011 at 08:29 PM. |

The question is, how much "real work" can be done on an Android device? I think it is more of a software problem, than a hardware one.

^ Well, fair enough. It is a relative term, ain't it? For sure, SW, but having ubiquitous HW components for certain things can help I think - actual card slots, real USB ports, etc can allow for easier file/directory functions and file access.
Dunno about you guys, but Wifi access is not necessarily everywhere, not always 100% safe nor necessarily the fastest, muss-free way to copy files back and forth. For instance, my Tab came with ThinkFree Office installed. Very cool, but no way am I gonna try and edit docs or xls files via the touch keypad. The review video example where she connected a USB keyboard [and the USB thumbdrive passthrough] made me immediately imagine I could use such a combination to edit documents and stuff. Just my own thoughts, FWIW and as always, YMMV -les |

Yes, it's a worry that Toshiba bug story, not in that it's a particular showstopper in itself, but in that it follows the kerfuffle over their previous attempt, the Folio, which was pulled from UK stores due to bugs.

In the end HTML5 may take over from flash. But most people need flash now. A lot (no, not everyone) of those with iDevices are just making sacrifices in order to have something with the coveted logo, or they prefer the overall features of those iDevices (flash be damned). My point is, Apple users would be better off if Apple had a hidden flash option. There is nothing that can really refute this argument. Last edited by HansTWN; 07-19-2011 at 05:18 AM. |

Funny Rock I was thinking about this thread over the weekend. My sister in law has an iPad and her friend who got married a while back got all her wedding photo's up on the photographer's website. She brought up the link , tapped on her friends segament and low and behold was not able to view her friends wedding photo's because it was in wait for it................. Flash!!!! But I had my trusty non rooted Nook color to come in and save the day
