I’m in love with the device already, and if I can find the funds I will be buying the 32gb WiFi model. I really believe Apple have hit the nail on the head here, it’s the right size for sitting on the sofa, or the train, or at the airport, or even in class and doing email, , browsing the web, playing games, connecting with social media, making notes, even giving presentations from the iPad version of iWork Keynote.

Now to the point that’s driving me crazy, a lot of commenters have made the observation that Apple has decided not to support Adobe’s Flash on the iPad, just as they haven’t with the iPhone or iPod Touch. These same commenters, and sadly a lot of the mainstream media too, are citing that Flash is an important part of the web experience, highlighting things such as Facebook games as an example of things the iPhone OS can’t do.

Want to know what I have to say about Flash? Really? I hate it, while I agree it was born out of a legitimate need to add interactivity and multimedia playback to the web, that was a long time ago in terms of how the Web has developed, now we have the emergence of HTML 5, AJAX, CSS and more web technologies than you can shake a fairly large stick at, I don’t see a place for Flash in the modern use of the Web, even less so on Apple’s iPhone, iPod Touch and certainly the iPad.

Apple really have given developers a rich SDK to enable amazingly powerful games and applications to be built for these devices without the need for Adobe’s resource intensive, security flawed and often gosh-darn-ugly platform to be involved.

So my comment to the commenters is simple, wake up and smell the Cocoa!
