i'm fairly sure the iPad will have flash support.. just from seeing its functionality already, I think it will.
This isn't really an iPhone, nor is it supposed to be a netbook. The way I see it is a midpoint between a macbook and an iPhone. If you go and do some research on it, you will see it's value.
However, i still don't think it's absolutely necessary if you already have both a macbook and an iPhone.. except that it's more portable than a macbook and more functional than an iPhone... not to mention a month of standby battery life and 10 hours of active battery life.

You see this this can do one amazing thing that netbooks can't though. You can actually read books on the thing. Has anyone ever tried to read a book even on a 15inch laptop. It's a hard thing to acomplish. I see the ipad as an improved version of amazons kindle. It is a great ebook reader with internet support, map support, etc. Reading newspapers will be so much easier. I think that is the big market for this thing. For readers that want to be able to port around a billion books without having to squint to read them on a laptop or break their back carrying them all.

Iphones are very stable. This thing starts at 499. Not bad at all.
you cant multi-task with it. one app at a time. fail.
i would rather just buy a macbook air. i was curious about the ipad when i heard about it over a year ago. now apple kind of lost me. and whoever said its not like a giant ipod touch or iphone....
its running the same OS as those 2. how is it not? there are text pad and word processing apps in the app store. the only good i see from an ipad (at this point in time, at least till they have it run a multi-tasking OS) is for ebooks. if you like to read i would buy this over a kindle.
but im not much of a reader.
macbook air runs OSX and has a usb port. im an apple fanboy i have an imac, 2 ipods, iphone and im in the market for a mini mac &/or macbook pro. this ipad gets a thumbs down from me. the timing was good, seeing the fact there is a few more touch tablet pc's coming out but the execution was really bad.
do you see how thick that black bezel is around the edge?! yuck.

Such a joke of a product. Even the name is a joke, sounds like something a girl would buy for her period.
Did I mention they are now being sued over the name, because Fujitsu already had copyrighted and trademarked the name?
Just another product Apple fan boys will be buying but have no use for. Another product that Apple had brought out that forces users to use Apples store to buy games, books and videos.
With no flash support a user is now not able to go to a website that streams movies and tv shows for free (like Hulu) and is forced to use Apples iTunes store to buy the same shows they can watch LEGALLY for FREE. I'm sure this will be the major downfall for the iPad along with the fact that you have to use Apple iTunes store to download an eBook, it doesn't support the major file types that alot of other etailers use. All of these issues that again, will have to be either patched in or never brought in to make this product a complete flop for Apple. So much for that "It works right out of the box" attitude they and their fanboys always want you to think.
