I merely want a machine to do a job consistently and properly. I do not care how old Flash is. If I cannot visit normal sites using standard, widespread, accepted technology, then this iPad is a total waste of time. I would be better off with an old, heavy laptop. At least it works and equipment that meets customer needs is the absolute bottom line. Never much liked Microsoft for its flaky OS software and habit of charging customers to be its test lab rat. Now Apple is telling me what I cannot watch. What absolute arrogance.

Flash isn't dead yet...

Your point about buying a Ford product is fine as far as it goes. If, however, by buying tht product I suddenly found half of the public roads closed off to me, I would be more than a little upset. Lots of websites use Flash yet the standard Apple browser does not have a mechanism for dealing with this, which makes the product not fit for purpose. How come other browse4rs can do it and not Apple? This is total nonsense. As far as changing the unit is concerned, I have only jsut got it and am in a two year contract, so I am screwed. Please do not expect me to feel good about this. It never entered my head that a company such as Apple would produce something that precluded a chunk of the internet.

Get it now? Seems logical reason to me.

Don't know if it is logical, but it is incorrect. There are plenty of free sources of content available for iOS devices.

If you believe that to be logical reasoning, then the logical reaction on your part is to purchase a non-IOS device and stay away from the IOS forum. Bye (don't let the door hit your *** on the way out).
