i didn't miss the point. i was employing a great deal of sarcasm relative to hp's decision to go so far as to showcase their tablet's flash capabilities with an adobe mouthpiece as the foci. i don't watch tv with any regularity, and if i did,
Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate, i'd want larger than a 10" screen for the purpose. nor do i use a device to manage my health, wellness,
Cheap Office 2010, or education. i do use devices to manage my life, and none of the software i use for that purpose, requires flash. i do use adobe's flash cs4 for my own purposes. as a format,
Office Ultimate 2007 Key, i have few complaints. i have nothing against a device that offers the viewing of this format unrestricted. i welcome it if anything.
however...
being upset that apple has chosen to release a device that does not support flash when there will be plenty (almost 50 this year) of other tablet options, seems... odd. when i think about the relatively small market share the ipad will likely acquire, i fail to see why so many people are threatened, angered, and troubled by its existence. also, when i see people miffed at steve jobs because he won't do something they want with his company or devices... its like watching a bunch of near-sighted developers making demands on howard roark. steve is as likely to compromise as howard, therefore,
Office Professional 2010 Key, any anger expended towards him is an utter waste of energy.
in a mobile device, i want a true multi-touch interface that is not based on a cursor hovering over something to make it work. i don't want same old os limitations adding minutes to every hour of my workflow on a day i'm too busy to stay at desk. i want a device to just do what i want, finger pressed to the screen,
Office Home And Business, moving content down the page one side and up the other. whether it displays flash or not is irrelevant, i just need the text... the raw information to proceed. as someone looking for a device that will allow me to proceed with my work away from my desk, everyone seems to be making a device made for play.
there's lots of 2010 left though, and plenty more marvelous devices to consider. i'm excited regardless.
