During CES 2010, HP gave the public a slight tease of its upcoming slate device. The touch screen device, which runs Windows 7, sports a form factor similar to Apple’s iPad, as well as similar uses; it supports eBooks, music, videos, and of course, the Internet. But wait, there’s more. According to a post on HP’s Voodoo blog, the device will give you a “full Web browsing experience,” not a “watered-down Internet” with “sacrifices.” In other words, the HP slate device supports Flash and, well, the iPad doesn’t.
While the blog posting didn’t mention the iPad by name, it was fairly clear that the statement in question was an indirect jab at it. Accompanying the post is a short, 30-second clip. The highlight of the clip, which occurs toward the end, shows the user going to Hulu.com and watching a Flash-based video.
The reason that the clip is only 30 seconds long, and the Hulu portion is at the end of it, is that running Flash may have drained all of the device’s batteries before all footage could be shot.
On a serious note, while the lack of Flash on the iPhone, and now the iPad, has its drawbacks, these drawbacks have been muted to a degree. The advent of the App Store created a non-Flash, potentially monetizable, playground for the creations of developers and content creators to play in. In addition, HTML 5 is emerging as a potential Flash development alternative.

Breakfast in New York. Sitting in a booth at Cafe Habana, people are staring as I type emails on the iPad. For now, it grabs too much attention, for better or worse, with its big swoopy animations and Skittles glow-erific screen. It’s not as strange as if I were hammering away on a laptop. But it’s no daily paper, either. When I start reading the Times and then Jack London’s Call of the Wild, crossing my legs and leaning back, the feeling of unease goes away as it transforms into a newspaper, and then a book.
Many weekends of mine as a child were spent idling in the American Museum of Natural History. I visit for the first time in 20 years. Nothing’s changed, except I got fatter, and my gadgets got thinner. An iPad turns out to be a good companion for the day, serving as sketchbook, elemental reference guide, dinosaur compendium and tour guide.
A little girl ignores the rare green snake in the cage to watch the YouTube video playing on the iPad, of the very same animal feeding. She’s fascinated by it and not the real viper.
Using it while walking around the museum is quite strange. I want to prop my arms up on a rail or sit on a bench. Because it’s almost impossibly dense, as if made from magic and lead. And while it’s not at all out of place in the gemstone and meteor rooms, it is a little out of place when I try to hold it with one hand, while standing.
