theonlyski 3 #27 September 17, 2010 QuoteOn the contrary-I absolutely LOVE the touch Interface-for me it was what attracted me to it in the first place. But no flash content? If I jailbrake the thing will it void the warranty? If you have to return it for warranty issues, simply re-install the current iOS. Jailbreaks are completely reverseable. However, I do not know of any more recent than iOS 4.0.1. I have no issues not being able to watch a flash movie on my iPhone, its a phone, not a computer. I can still watch youtube, so what else do I need flash for?"I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites murrays 0 #28 September 17, 2010 Quote"I hate Flash on my Macs...Adobe's fault...as it is a total resource hog.

Well, that's Gruber defending his baby. While the hardware accelaration for video, specifically H.264, is new across the board, general Falsh sluggishness is due to Apples poor 2D API's as well. Also, the plugin interface NPAPI for Safari is much slower than ActiveX in IE, so the Windows version has an advantage there.

The first thing that annoyed me is that I couldn't just start using it straight away. I needed to download the latest version of iTunes. Well, I don't have access to my iMac at the mo so I had to bring it back to the store to get it "unblocked". Get this-it cost me money to do that too! Speaking of money... I have so far bought an idock and an iadapter to plug in a USB port so that I can iconnect a freakin' camera to it (and btw that is ALL the USB port will recognise). Additionally, I have needed iapps to get the thing going and Skype refuses to work whilst I do *any thing* else... Navigating the web is NOT easier, it does NOT cope with emails better and typing with is is NOT a breeze. Basically is does less stuff in more time. Seriously...

The next iteration of the ipad operating system is due in November. The navigation does get easier withe practice.
