It's getting better, people are starting to test HTML5 on the ipad, going by Almighty Steve's logic the ipad should NOT support HTML5 either :D

Well Ruppert Murdoch is saying the iPad could very well turn around newspapers that are losing tons of money and make them profitable again. More than one million units sold and already Murdoch is pulling in more dough anyway. The cost is nothing compared with the profit and significantly less than printing costs. What I cant figure out is why the Nook or Kindle wasnt doing the same thing for him.

Get a propper Notebook, far more useful unless your looking to impress at a local cafe with the rest of the Apple fanboys.. IPad is nothing more then another over priced useless apple tax.

this makes no sense at all. one of the reasons apple has stated for not wanting to allow flash plugins for the iPhone OS browser is that HTML5 can replicate most of the flash plugin functionality natively without adding another application layer. jobs stated this in the iPad launch months ago. you also make it sound like using HTML5 is some kind of user hack, whereas WebKit has had some parts of HTML5 implemented for ages (HTML5 isnt even a standard yet btw). Out of all the engines WebKit has the best support for HTML5 so far, so I think we can assume that apple likes HTML5.

The funny thing is all the cultee's claiming HTML5 and Java will negate the need for flash.... cept the ipad/iphone don't support java LOL. I wonder when steve will make his 'java sucks' speech?

java on iPhone OS? :huh jobs has already stated - no VMs on iPhone OS. java is no different from flash in this respect, both VMs which run platform agnostic bytecode. as a user why would you even want to run java or flash apps on a low powered device when a natively written app will be much faster and much more stable? personally I dont even want to run java or flash apps on a quad core desktop for this reason.


edit: btw steve doesnt need to make a "java sucks" speech - that would just be stating the obvious :D

Isnt that the reason that Chrome is the fastest growing browser (WebKit)?

I'd say its more because Google are pushing it hard on the back of their search dominance, halo effect if u like. however webkit is fast, compliant and open source, so that certainly helps :)

No... they are the fastest growing because they are the smallest (most to gain). The surprising thing is that IE6 is still in widespread use (maybe not so surprising considering the world market as a whole). Sometime this summer Chrome should overtake IE8 which is still not as accepted for some reason. Will IE9 be as slow to be adopted as IE8 has been?

Job's doesn't like Flash due to performance and stability. Yet the HTML5 performance tests on the ipad so far have been mediocre. On the back of this we have rumours of apple developing their own flash alternative. There has been an underlying rumour that the lack of flash support on iphone/ipad has been due to apple wanting to be able to tightly control content delivery (especially advertising) - and it seems to be coming true. Why didn't apple give users the choice to turn flash on or off?

Isnt the original definition of 'Hacker?' To do something because you can and because you arent supposed to? I mean before the idiots writing for newspapers made 'hacker' a name for criminals only.
