You are like the MASTER of hyperbole. 100 apps for every single piece of content? Seriously? I have like . . . 3. And again, you FAIL TO TELL ME how it's ANY different than having 100 bookmarks for webpages. And yeah, you can view most video on the web with the i-Pad. Most web video comes from YouTube, anyway, which the i-Pad handles flawlessly. CNN? ESPN? They work fine, too. I think you're vastly overestimating the content that isn't available to the i-Pad. It's certainly not the best; I won't argue that. But it's more than adequate.
And it may not be ideal for you, but there are CERTAINLY advantages to it. Like when I launch the ABC Video App, I know that when I click on the videos, I'm going to get full episodes right then. If I go to the ABC website, I have to wade through a bunch of menus just to get to the video. The app is certainly more streamlined than the website.
