I'd like to see your math that led you to that conclusion. I'm hoping you are not an accountant.

But I spend most of my time here trying to help others, which is what the site is designed for, and I do try to give posters useful information on Flash. I also don't go over to the Sprint/HTC/EVO sites and post about what the iPhone can do. That is called being a troll.

What you do here helps nobody, accomplishes nothing, and has become merely an exercise in taking up space.

A great example of that convenience happened to me on a date last thursday.

After dinner while sitting at the bar we decided we would rather go see a movie than go bar hopping.

I simply opened up google maps, did a search for a local theatre, and started looking for showtimes.

Had I not had an android phone we would not have been able to watch the movie trailers by simply clicking the "watch trailer" link. This ability, while on a date, was very handy.


You never thought of downloading one of the several free iPad apps that provide that service?

Oh I have many of them.

But the ipad doesnt fit in my pocket nor make phone calls. So I tend to bring my phone with me instead, and was merely pointing out the fact that it is nice my phone supports it for that reasn among many others.

So your criticism of the iPad is that it doesn't fit in your pocket?

If I had known the limitations of the iPad, I really would of considered not buying one. My laptop crashed, and though this was a good alternative. Small and great for travel.
You can't print, a huge number of web sites are not viewable, require the flash download. Everything you do on these involves a purchase of an app. I think apple could go a long way by improving the usability of their product.

Not impressed.

Keep telling pople that Tamara, soon you will be the only one with an iPad.

You should be more open to your fellow product owners opinions, as they only seek to make the device better and more widely used.

This whole Flash debate and the way you fanboy's respond to your fellow products owners is putting a stain on the Apple name across the entire web. Every one has a blog now talking about "your type".

You can be "Spiegel" all you want, and coddle your "precious", but that is not going to fair well for Apple in the long run. You are doing Apple more harm than good.
