iPad no flash

Lots of hype about Apple's new product, I am sure it will do very well - although as usual I would not be able to stand the lock in to the manufacturer.

In fairness the lockin is there to provide a safer user experience and most users simply will not care.

One interesting thing was Steve Jobs in his demo browsing a site with Flash on - but with no Flash plugin running in the browser. At first this was seen as work in progress, but he has since criticised Adobe for buggy software and hoping the HTML 5 see their technology disappear.

I kind of agree, lots of the web contains Flash though - you only really notice it as a non Windows user who does not want to use a plugin for it.
