Also, Hulu is working on an iPad app. There goes another one of the last bastions of "iPad needs flash" thinking.

then either you are reading me wrong or you don't know how software development works.

Regardless, my point IS proven. Safari is based on webkit and since webkit doesn't have support for drag/drop they had to implement their own version of it... a version that clearly is different than Chrome's... which is why gmail drag/drop doesn't work in Safari... eventually google will program for it... but as I stated already, these things take time... and in a few months when that is done... where are we? one maybe two features closer to html5?

Tell ya what, let's meet back in 6 months and see exactly how much has drastically changed.... I DO NOT gamble, but I'm more than willing to bet on this...

yay, another APP, so I get to d/l a Hulu app, and a CNN app and a widget.com app... fun stuff.

I'm happy it works for you, but most of us aren't willing to sacrifice functionality for a sleek design.

Who is "us"? According to this site, which tracks unique iPads through their advertising network, they estimate over 800k have been sold in just over 2 weeks (I don't believe any official numbers have been released). That's US-only, and without the 3G model being available. I'd say it's selling extremely well...

Please tell me how pressing the app button is any different than navigating to the web browser and then scrolling down to the bookmark.

In this sense, the apps are no more complicated than links.

No, I'll argue that it's not a sustainable model when you need a different app for every site... That's fine if you visit 20 or so sites, but I go to considerably more.

What if ChiefsPlanet had a significant amount of flash or video... do you honestly expect me to program an iphone app for the site? I imagine a number of sites feel the same way.

yes it is. Is it perfect? no, but if you want to put your head in the sand and ignore it, that's your choice... I just think it's silly to do so.

It IS a sustainable model... as proven by the hundreds of thousands of apps in the app store. Just sayin'.

If CP had a significant amount of flash or video, I'd just wait to access it until I was at my computer.

Actually, many sites are doing just that. Moreover, they have flash degrading pages for the main browsers so that if someone has it blocked or uninstalled, they get the same content in a different codec.

I don't see how saying it's dying is putting my head in the sand and ignoring it. Otherwise, how could I observe that it sucks tremendous balls.

And aside from perhaps emulators flash isn't really functional. Unless you count ads, which I never do.

One thing I'm not liking about the iPad.... is the apps created for the iPhone screen that they lazily ported over for the iPad with no regard for different screen size. So you're looking at this tiny little iPhone sized app on the big iPad screen. You can zoom in on it, but that's just makes it look worse.

I have to admit that book reading is much better than I expected.
