Right
Has already been discussed alot and the success of its sell is amazing, and it's just a start, they gonna be releasing the iPad in Europe (Germany) at the end of may.
Due to the fact, that there was too many requests, the delivery was cancelled and nearly put 1 month later ^^.
But this could also be a marketing strategy, to increase the "iPad-Hype".

Well that could be true, but I didn't want to not include something on apple. Apples are not that bad of computers but I hate them and they are just terrible when you look at Windows/PC. They don't even compare.

So let's jump over to a new topic.
How do you like outward appearance of the new iPhone and do you think, that the story is true, that it was randomly lost or certainly put there to give evidence for the change and stuff?

i play ping pong with an asian, he has an ipad. Its actually pretty neat....

nono it was definitely an accident. I'm assuming you are talking about the iPhone 4G which got left in a bar somewhere then got picked up by various magazines or whatever.

Couple days later some police apparently broke into one of the magazine editor's home and took all of his electronic equipment and whatnot. And without a legit warrant. If it was Apple behind this, I have absolutely no idea how they got command of the police, but it definitely is not good. But I think Apple needs to chill out about stuff getting "leaked", because it's simply impossible to prevent right now. Not saying that piracy should be legit, but it has to be accepted as pretty much unpreventable.

Conclusion: Apple wouldn't be giving themselves a bad rep and breaking laws if this wasn't an accident.

Does anyone else think the only reason apple doesn't support flash is because if they did no one would buy their silly games in the app store?

Well yes, it would open the door for more developpers, so they could just publish the games on the internet and link to it, would be easier, faster and cheaper for users.
And it would be dangerous, because "Adobe Flash Player" would get too much interest, so people would head for even more illegal things on the iPhone. They want to sell their products and not let another giant expand on their market.
And that's were other mobile device publishers may get on to: if they support Flash (Windows does so) they might be able to create competition towards Apple's applications.

I just think all the talk of flash being old and terrible, like its a good thing they don't support it is funny. When really they just want more of your money.

True
So far I'm not sure if there is some 3rd party application enabling the flashplayer, but it's not allowed to talk about it anyways

No... To my knowledge, flash can't be used on multi touch. Or rather, Apple's multi touch doesn't work with flash. I read an article a few weeks ago about it.


That's why there's a giant overhaul to reprogram the web in html5 or whatever. But, according to this article http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10154123-37.html , they're working together [Apple/Adobe] to try to get flash to work. So who knows?




As for the iPad, I think Ashton Kutcher said it best: "the device [iPad] is great for absorbing entertainment, music, and literature, but not creating it." It's a great tool for browsing. Is that a bad thing?

No, not if another company had done it. But it's basically just an iPhone or an iPod Touch. So whatever. I love my iPhone but I'm in no way an Apple Fanboy. I really don't see a point for it.
