Exactly.

Another take on the iPad:

Remember the iPhone OS is in reality a version of OS X and much of the code is the same. 

Following up on some other points...   the 64Gb capacity is surely to leave room for a capacity bump for the second version (which might or might not also have some additional features). This approach worked well for Apple with the iPods and iPhones!

Flash certainly is still around, and used on a huge number of websites. But then floppy drives were ubiquitous at one point, AltaVista used to be the dominant search engine...  things change, and Flash belongs to the past not the future.

And finally... isn't this a B&O forum?? 🙂

😂😂😂 Excellent!

It is, but some of us are still looking for ways to play digital content on our Beolabs and Beovisions and Apple is the next thing next to B&O for that.

For sure it is fun to use and I would prefer it at home when on the couch over a notebook.

I am just really disappointed that they didn't nail music, video and for that matter photos at home better when in this scenario.  They treat it like on an Ipod which is for on the go but this is not for on the go, this device is clearly for the couch.

Mozilla announced Wednesday that they have dropped flash support in their latest mobile release candidate...

The lack of flash support seems to be the upcoming trend.

Yes it is a B&O forum.  Can the forthcoming B&O iPod dock be used for the iPad?  Will there be any iPod/iPad applications developed by B&O?  If not they had better get busy.

I plan on getting the iPad for use in my condo and will probably use it in a comfortable chair like the Steve Jobs demo.  It will most likely be the wifi version.  My dilemma is my wife wants one also and her justification is more reasonable than mine.  She works in the publishing industry and she said it is a must have product.  She will get the 3G/wifi version.  My Beovision 10 purchase will have to be on hold for about 6 months.

Many things were not covered in the demonstration by Steve Jobs and others but just as the iPhone and iPod  had shortcomings at the beginning, they were soon corrected.  These devices have had impressive sales.  Apple is now a $50 billion a year company which is not to be ignored.

I agree with remarks about HTML5.  YouTube is currently has a beta test for delivery of video by HTML5.  Web developers are not very aware of HTML5 but ultimately it could replace flash.  I hope so.

Forget the IPad. Go for the Bang&Olufsen BeoTablet it has 16:9 a.ratio for movies and photos, n0t 4:3 like the Ipad, built-in DVB-T for wireless FreeTV and several speakers on the frontside ,looks like loudspeaker grille around the screen ... a web-browser capable of adobe flashhhhhhhhhh...wooohhhhhh beo magic...😉😎

Note that the NY Times website on the IPAD Apple.com website would not show the pictures as that is a flash gallery.

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/10/travel/10places.html?em

What people saw in Jobs demo which I thought was a glitch from him picking that page will be damm difficult to avoid.

That they obviously photoshopped their page at http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/  but this is to a point where it's lying -they should be forced to clarify that the Ipad can't show the page as they are depicting it.
