Should Adobe Flash be made available on touch screen devices like the iPad? This is one question to which we will never receive a definitive answer.

    I sure as hell won't be buying an ipad anytime soon. With Apple's lack of accepting Flash, we lose half of the web capabilities and functionality. I might pick up a Slate!

    iPad not running Flash = fail. Most news and entertainment sites use flash. Very few less than a handful use HTML5. HTML will grow but will not be 15% until mid 2011.

    Not to mention no easy way to hook the iPad to my TV. Lastly I work at a desk and holding a tablet or looking down all day is a drag.

    It would be absurd to ever hear MS block software from be able to run on their OS like Apple does. Apple's claim that it's for security purposes are BS and the consumer should be able to decide.

    Slate seems to be shaping up to what we hear about it. iPad is lacking, and HP is taking advantage of that fact.

    Will the slate be around forever? Probably not, but it's providing what consumers are demanding at this moment. I would take the slate over the iPad hands down for now.

    same thoughts here, would buy a slate before I'd buy an ipad even though I love my iphone. I think it's just going to be a matter of time before apple finally gives in to flash though just like they have with many other things.

    IE: ipods and itunes working on windows machines and mac computers running intel cpus.
