The iPad is a buggy rushed to market, compromised piece of hardware. The
competition in that space at CES is staggering, likely cheaper, and
mostly based on Android. Apple isn't going to win this market, so I'm
not worried about it.

*Flash*
Many people will bemoan the lack of Flash in the iPad. It wasn't
mentioned, but eagle-eyed viewers would have seen the missing plugin
icon on the New York Times site during yesterday's demo, and given
that Apple clearly hates Flash as both a non-open web "standard" and
as a buggy, CPU-hungry piece of code, it's unlikely it will ever be
added, unless Apple decides it wants to cut the battery life down to
two hours.
Who needs Flash, anyway? YouTube and Vimeo have both switched to H.264
for video streaming (in Chrome and Safari, at least -- Firefox doesn't
support it), and the rest of the world of Flash is painful to use.
In fact, we think the lack of Flash in the iPad will be the thing that
finally kills Flash itself. If the iPad is as popular as the iPhone
and iPod Touch, Flash-capable browsers will eventually be in the
minority.
go.
