@mKind It seems to me the reason for this tirad and this type of propaganda is really nothing that should come as a surprise. Prppaganda has always changed societies and there is an agenda to promote the mode of computing in the Ipad so that it will become the standard setter rather than a missing of the mark. You are correct in how software/flash for desktops/OS's in laptops and smartphones or whatever all have their place and one cannot be used "better" necessarily than another. They do all have their place. It is competitive enterprising and the one who promotes the best whether the product actually does anything useful or not, that company wins as has been seen in recent years especially. I have wanted one of the tablet touchscreen pc's from HP forever so I don't know how the Ipad comes around as something new...the HP tablet has a full keyboard even and you can write on it with a stylus and have that converted to text which is fabulous. I had an HP PDA that does all of the things that are now supposedly something new and fantastic and I bought it in 1999 or 200 so technology has been around for a long time. At that time it cost about 600.00 too but I used it for everything in my life. It was like the Ipod touch so there was no phone. I had a fine cell phone but someone decided that having both in one, then you didn't carry "so many" things to do what one device can do that was the propaganda around the Iphone and well you know how well that worked.
