    Yeah I use my Ipod all the time (as evident from the numder of typos in my posts!) and not having flash does indeed suck!! It pisses me off that they refuse to allow people to modify or customize their Ipods or Ipads without voiding the warranty. This is a big reason I'm not an Apple guy.

      I have a running, good natured debate with my daughter and son-in-law over Apple products. On principle, I refuse to buy any Apple products solely because of the arrogance and condescension that starts with Jobs and attaches to almost everything associated with the Apple brand.

      The bad part for me is that I deprive myself of some well designed if overpriced devices and either go without or buy a competitors device that isn't as good or as well supported as the Apple.

      The good part for me is that I don't beat myself up for allowing that smug prick Jobs to fuck me around with his company's frequent arbitrary and high handed practices.

      In the end, I'm managing to survive with neither an Ipad or an Iphone!

        My dad got one, then my mom, then my wife, then my sister, then my mother-in-law, then my sister-in-law. They are constantly playing.....SCRABBLE. They all got the highest priced one, too. $700 x 6 = $4200 so that they can all play Scrabble against each other remotely. Hahaha.

          Get the Iswifter app. You can see flash with it (sort off). Basically its a Chinese app that translate a flash website your using to something the the IPad can read. Weird but it works

              I have an iPad and iPad 2 and I love them. Barely ever use my laptops or home PC anymore

              Flash is an issue on some sites....but many have adapted. the Eagles site is definitley one you get porked on, unless you use the wireless Eagles site for video

                Just like there are Android phones out there better than the iphone, there are also better Android based tablets than the iPad.

                I'm kind of locked into the iPod though since I have a bunch of songs from the iTunes store.

                  Bought my IPAD2 about six weeks ago and love it, its great for checking out sports headlines quickly and such, reading books etc. However, when I need to do heavy duty work, I still go back and sit in front of the PC. Still need to have that keyboard and mouse

                    I don't have an iPad yet, but the keyboard attachment seems to work pretty well. A guy I work with has one.
