But for giggles, let's take a short trip down memory lane. Remember almost a year ago when AustinChief said this:
He's still waiting for that iPad killer.

And I stand by my previous posts... As someone who has actually used almost every type of tablet on the market... I have found the iPad to be the best form with the least function. Mostly due to its lack of FLASH support... and the various apps that are meant to supplant FLASH functionality ... simply don't.
Let me give you a PERFECT example that happened ALL THE TIME with my girlfriend and I. She had an iPhone and later an iPad that I bought her. I had a Win7 tablet and an EVO 4G. While driving I would think of some obscure song I wanted her to hear so I would search for it on Google. OVER HALF the time there would NOT be a version that would play on Youtube's mobile app. SO if I sent her a link she couldn't play it on her i-devices yet I could play the video just fine on mine because I could choose to play via FLASH and not use the mobile app.
Do you have any idea how supremely annoying it is when half of your searched results won't play?
It isn't about an iPad killer, Apple's ridiculous policies have made the iPad a half-functional novelty and nothing more. but you can certainly do LESS for LONGER with its amazing battery life!
Over the course of last year a bunch of BETTER tablets came out... they ALL SUCKED but they were still better because they actually worked. Over the course of this year a ton more will come out that are ALL better and may also not suck. The Wifi Xoom with Flash and SD CARD support should be out in a week and at $600 it is easily the best tablet on the market... I'm not a huge fan because I still think it will be overpriced but I challenge anyone to tell me why an iPad is better at that point?
It will have better hardware specs, same price, better OS and lastly FLASH!
Feel free to drink Apple's koolaid and CHANGE the way you use the web to suit their device.. personally I would rather have a device that actually tries to fit what I want and not the other way around.
