I am sick of everyone complaining about the iPad. For one, only a hand full of us have even seen the device in person. I know… the name should have been vetted. But, I am tired of all the articles still speculating on what the iPad can and can’t do. Especially  those pointing out the lack of Flash.

Flash will never be on an Apple mobile device.

If it is allowed on the platform, flash will take away many developers from the App Store. Flash allows developers to make their applications for multiple devices in one environment; why wouldn’t they? Not only would Apple lose money from the App Store, but Apple would also loose market share to other devices. Apple could no longer position themselves as  the only company with a gazillion apps in it’s store. Apple is not going allow that to happen, it does not make any business sense.

Also, I am tired of hearing that device will fail. There is HUGE untapped market for this device. Apple is taking the right steps to lock it down. Software cannot keep pace with the rapid changes engineering any longer. Apple recognizes this and address the issue with the iPad. It is not a device for all those that were live streaming the announcement on the 27th. In fact, it is a device for those who were not even aware of the impending launch. The game has changed. Apple has recognized the shift & adjusted its strategies to take advantage.

I am not writing this because I am the biggest fanboy you know, rather I saw this change coming a couple of years ago & I was too slow to act on it. I write this as a reminder to myself of what could have been and what needs to be.
