You must use more little kiddie flash game websites than I do then because it is very seldom that I use a website with flash. I use flash for videos and safari automatically detects and plays flash videos anyway therefor making flash completely useless.

His acute analysis of the internet is a testament to the education authorities.

Is his attention span is so limited he can't watch a screen without moving pictures?

Another one that didn't do his homework. Sucks for you.

What "size & flavor" iPad do you have? i.e. 16GB/32GB/64GB -- WiFi/WiFi+3G

If the specs & price are right, I might be interested in one for my wife...

most sites don't use flash unless if their business is around flash. Using flash for everything is like so Macromedia ago.

Thanks for the tips, now it is easier to install flash.

Indeed it does suck for me: I purchased an Apple product. All my research over the years suggested it would be a bad idea...my research held true. One thing that really gets me though: How is it that everyone I hear evangelize the Apple product talk about how stable the products/OS are, but they also have their devices in for repair frequently and my iPad crashes at least once a day? I haven't had an android app crash in weeks.

16GB, WiFi-3G with the black apple case/folder (which was a big surprise...it's very functional)

The main reason I got this was for email, navigation, and casual web use (mostly Financial news, which is very flash rich. Be forewarned that this is pretty useless for news...). email is almost as good as my Android G1' and Navigation not as good, but my eyes can see the big iPad, so it's been a fair tradeoff at times. Send me a message directly with an offer...I still have every bit of packaging too...including the bag!

With all due respect, if your iPad "crashes" once a day, then it is either defective and is under warranty and should be replaced or you have done something to it.

I have used my iPad nearly every day since June and it has never "crashed" or shut off unexpectedly. Before getting an iPad, I have had several iPods over the years and have never had to send one in for repair... ever.

If you are so upset with the quality and functionality of your iPad, why not just put it on CraigsList or eBay and move on. You won't hurt our feelings... I promise!

I hope you aren't going to complain that you were not "told" when buying the big mac and large fries for lunch that they are in fact horrible for your health. Funny stuff.
