Can't agree with this, as I think that iPhone is the best phone on the market at this point, and Google will improve Nexus One (at least as much as Apple improved the first iPhone) to match the iPhone. Now about the iPad: even though I'm a fan of Apple products (iPhone and MacBook Pro are excellent products), iPad didn't blew me away. I don't like that it runs the iPhone software instead of Snow Leopard (and that includes the absence of Flash) and that it still bounds you to use iTunes (I'm sick of not being able to upload my divx movies through iTunes directly). I'm sure however that Apple will correct this with future firmware upgrades. But this doesn't mean that iPad is a bad product, not at all, it's great looking, performant ... it's simply not the product for me (at least not yet).

Within 10 minutes of Steve Jobs presenting it to the world there were articles and blogs complaining of its uselessness. Personally I think the people who say it has no real value lack imagination. I also think this just the first view of the technology. When I bought my first iPod in 2004 there was no app store, video download etc... I may wait until revision 2 to purchase the iPad but I think the exciting days are still to come. I dont know why people are so quick to jump on the “iPad is stupid enlarged ipod” bandwagon.

I mean obviously it is easy for them to implement as we can watch youtube videos on the iPhone. Flash is now so rich in its content abilities, it simply cant be ignored. Apple DEFINATELY needs to fix this... It would be like ignoring javascript? Just makes no sense. Some of the best and most creative sites in the world are flash driven. Jobs just needs to bite the bullet and allow the iPhone and iPad to be amazing, instead of something you curse everytime you miss out on a simple page element that you were looking for....suck it up!

It's the ultimate sales tool. iPhone? The screen is too small. Laptop or netbook? You have to have it ready, so it looks like you are ambushing the person. Think about guiding someone through your portfolio or demonstration a product or service...anywhere, spontaneously. In my opinion, that's the killer app!
