Whats the point of the apple ipad?

Whats the point of it, and dont even get me started on the ipad mini, it has no diffrence between it and the ipad. Ok i know its a tablet and its designed kind of like a computer but common getting it internet dosent mean its a computer?

youtube works with HTML5 too if you are unaware. Flash is useful in some situation but most people dont need it otherwise everyone would start complaning Adobe has stop investing more resources in developing flash for mobile devices

[quote=bubblecup118]Flash is pretty much discontinued in mobile devices anyway, HTML 5 is the way to go and open sources. Flash uses lots of CPU too. I disable flash and I hardly ever need to use it on my computer[/quote]

I don't like the S2 aswell. Try the One X, Galaxy Nexus or an galaxy s3 out. Those will be alot fun

iOS looks way too old >.< It has not changed that much since the first release. I got an iPod touch 4th gen and boy oh boy what does it get boring!

You can't watch flash on an iPad. That's impossible.

Android is more fun orientated in my opinion.[/quote]

my neice and nephew can use a tablet, but they can't use a computer. My sister has started a pilot project to use it in the class to teach (3rd graders) which is going really well. It's currently the best possibly way to pass around photos of trips or your family when you have guests. Generally works as well if not better than a laptop for quick portability.

Anyways, it's the only thing portable I can bring to use in school; it's extremely helpful during AP US, since I'm just copying notes for the whole period.

You are pretty much saying what's the point of a "tablet" in general

I guess it's more portable and lighter than the computer
and it has a touchscreen
and you can view documents?
I dunno... there are actually more and more apps that are being released that are giving ipads much more functionality, but I'd still prefer a laptop
