Yeah, that's a biggie. And it seems it's just that Steve has a chip on his shoulder about flash. There's no reason except that same old Apple god complex.
The unit is appealing... smooth, very responsive, and easy to use. But I'm not surprised at it's short comings. Maybe they should tweak the OS for the hardware, instead of putting the same spaced out iPhone icons on a bigger screen. I mean, use the real estate.
It also has a problem with seeing multiple WLANs broadcast from the same radio. At home, with one WAP, that's not a problem, but at work... My boss could not connect to our corporate WLAN because our "guest" network was overridding it. Known iPad bug... no fix.
Here's the coolest thing. Apple wants to sell you on THEIR bookstore right? Amazon made an app for the iPad. Whatever the Kindle can do, the iPad can do. Why buy books from Apple when you can buy them from Amazon cheaper. I'll bet Jobs is pissed about that one.
