You spent the first year of this thread arguing about Flash support, and then Honeycomb was released and didn't have Flash for quite a while. The Xoom came out with no Flash support. The one feature you made out to be the binding force of the internet universe.

These Android tablets have been very flawed for quite some time. It's been 14 months and 23 million iPads later, and you're still saying the same things.
I will completely agree that I overshot the mark by expecting better hardware to come out for Android... they failed to live up to expectations. NOW the hardware has caught up and surpassed iPads but they aren't priced to move yet. We'll see the cheap tablets this fall and then we SHOULD see the cheap and far superior tablets next year.

I stand by my feelings on FLASH. It's annoying that it's missing and seriously limits the iPad's usefulness.

Lastly, 23 million iPads sounds like such a huge number... but in reality.. it's only big compared to the anemic Android sales so far. The vast majority of the tablet market is still waiting for the price to drop. The only way Apple will be able to keep up is to match the price drops.. something they have been awful at in the past.

So, in short.. I was wrong on ONE thing.. timing... I expected Android to move much faster in it's takeover of the tablet market... it's only a matter of time before it does happen.
