is it as capable as a laptop, no, but then if we need all the capabilities of a laptop we bring it.

is it more portable and quicker to use then a laptop, yup. just click the lil button and it lights up vs sleep mode or off entirely and booting up a laptop.

I'd love it too if I got it as a gift.

Too bad it's really cause it's out of their control that is the real issue. It's about control, that's all.

No, its about battery life, flash is a resourse hog and will kill the battery. Jobs thinks he can change the internet by not including it on his products but only some sites will change. The thing is that the rest of the - world will still use it.

That's just it, he thinks he's so powerful that Apple will change the rules for everyone else. Sorry but no.

That's just part of the issue with flash. The big issue is control. He wants HTML5 to replace flash.

Allowing flash would allow people to bypass Apple ToS and be able to play apps through flash and not have to worry about the app store any longer. Which could also introduce security risks and other buggies. It all comes down to control in the end. He wants it over his devices.
