Biggest annoyance with the iPad?

[iVan]

I can deal with thingies like poor printing and absence of Flash but why can't the iPad be a standalone device if one would choose so?

Right now Im hating since it's being unstable with this upgrading thing. MY iphone4 upgraded smoothly but not my Ipad? using the same pc?

Geez, and why should we connect to itunes when we upgrade?

The lack of Flash is a big deal when so many websites are going that route. (e.g., I have yet to find automotive [brand] website that doesn't use Flash.) Apple will be forced to somehow add Flash or forget using it as a browser.

Apple cannot be forced to do anything. Steve Jobs will go play in a corner by himself before he gives in to implementing something he doesn't like.

I want Flash on my iPad too, but it doesn't stop me from using it as a browser for most of the sites I visit. If I really need to check out a site with Flash, I do it on my PC at home. But this is also the reason I'm buying an Android Tablet early next year, but I will still keep my iPad as there are many apps not available in the Android Marketplace that are available for iPad.

Being that I just purchased an Ipad yesterday I would have to say everything is a big annoyance, as this is my first time ever owning an Apple product. But the biggest annoyance for me so far is Flash support and learning Itunes.

I use my iPad out in the field all day and never once have I ever been denied access to a site due to lack of flash.

Apple won't add flash. Don't hold your breath.

My main gripe is my local paper is switching from flash to HTML5, and all those annoying ads I was able to avoid on my iPad ARE BACK, and driving me crazy!

Of course the ads are back. That's what this is all about!

Need Flash for charts unfortunately... With it, it would have been PERFECT,,,

I get virtually no ads, just use another browser (I recomend iCab) as most of the third party ones have some sort of ad filter, and you can also edit your hosts file if you jailbreak.

In other words you don't go to a site that requires flash

Exactly, if you need to view a site with Flash that bad, you can use other options, such as a desktop computer, Android 2.2 product, or a standard laptop.

Thank You. TBH, I didn't even know what Flash was, until I bought the iPad! Seriously. And I am on my computer a lot!

I knew that the Ipad didn't come with it and I was not trippin, because I did not think Apple would sell a product if most could not make it meet their needs.


I was right.

that's not the point, the lack of it is a nuisance and no credible reason for it not to be there

 

[Superbike81]

I know.

There is also no credible reason to for me to have to salute my superior officers. It's a nuisance, but I put up with it because that's the tradition.

Steve Jobs has a deep seeded hate for Flash, it's been this way for a while, a well known fact, constantly whining about it is only going to get you a sore throat or carpal tunnel syndrome.
