Re-read what I wrote, Flaming. I did not insult you or claim you were a joke. I said your complaints were the joke and it was on you. Not that you were personally were a joke. The fault lay in your accepting non-facts you heard from non-authoritative sources, iPad FUD spreaders, most of whom have not used one and have no experience with one, in forming your opinion of the capabilities of the device. You then speak on this forum as with a voice of authority repeating the erroneous "facts" that you have merely heard from those sources.
Fair enough. Educate me.
Which browser lets you run Flash?
Which video player lets you play AVI/MPG files?
BTW, I didn’t get any “FUD” from “Ipad FUD spreaders”. Most of what I learned about the Ipad comes from messing around with my brother-in-law’s and asking him about it.
He’d be delighted to know how to run Flash and watch movies without re-encoding. It’d be good to know and I can pass that along to him.
