Apple iPad - The ultimate web browsing experience, or is it?Submitted by Phillip Williams on Sun, 01/31/2010 - 14:04.
Apple has annouced the much wanted, and long awaited iPad. This device is something that has recieved missed reviews about to be sure. There has been a big push by apple on the web surfing aspec of this device. I think as and overgrown iTouch it shoud be a wize at the web. The main concern with the web and the iPad is it's lack of Flash. Yes, I know that HTML5 will allow this or that, but we are not there yet. Most websites do not know HTML5 and don't have the content encoded in the Ogg Theora and H.264 codecs. So Flash is here to stay, and stay awhile. I understand Flash is buggy, I know that it is bloated.. but there are so many sites that use flash for critacl aspects of the site that the exclusion of this plug on the (super powered 1Ghz Apple A4 processor) is a miss. The team at Apple's marketing department thought so too. The orginal video accessable on the homepage of apple shows a very well done demonstration of the iPad, too well in fact. Paul Threatt, a graphic designer at Jackson Walker design group, has filed a complaint to the FTC alleging false advertising. His statement reads:
As of yesterday the video that I have watched a dozen or more times, changed because of this filing. The screenshot I have below shows the Blue Lego of Death now. That is where Flash is supposed to be, and the content is not. What is interesting is the video that I have watched prior showed ,very clearly, an image instead of the Blue Lego of Death. So Apple's Marketing department KNEW in advance that the lack of Flash was going to be an issues and tried to gloss over it.
