    yeah, but that is a phone, where the internet stuff was new and so people accepted the limitations, since it was so cool that you could just do that.

    and for an ipad, with which you are supposed to be able to 'hold the internet in your hands' (except of course for flash and java)
    It is interesting that they show the NYTimes on the ipad (Jobs on stage) as an example. How will you view those cool multimedia interactive graphics they do at the NY Times using Flash? whoops! can't.

    if you have a situation where you can choose between a google product that is truly open source, runs flash, java, etc...and apple, which is proprietary, well, i think apple will lose a lot of people, and over time, a lot more.

    there is a reason that Apple has 10% market share of computers, where for a time in the 80s they were a serious player vs. intel/microsoft. that same mentality.

    • They showed it on purpose. It's a way of saying "get your alt content ready by April"raf
