The iPad Sucks: Tech Report

Steve Jobs hasn't minced words when defending Apple's decision to not support Flash on iPad and iPhone. But you won't see Ben Hoffman's iPad demonstration on a big screen anytime soon. For this week's infoMania Tech Report, Ben tests out his favorite websites, from Hulu to the New York Times -- all of which look completely awful.

@hoagtech umm yeah you can change your wallpaper using a free program thats easily downloaded in Cnet. the fagpad cant get flash at all. so now tell me something else

@vistarox 1: HTML5 supports Flash (embeddable MIME type). You are thinking about how Apple has banned Flash in favor of JavaScript for the interactive web content. 2. Adobe does not think JavaScript is better. As they officially stated, it has a lot of catching up to do to match the features of Flash. 3. Apple also banned Java, Unity/Mono, Pand3d, etc. They're banning all web plugins that could be used to create web applications, and will not fully support the HTML5/JS spec.

@themike2048 I own an iPad, and while I don't hate it (I wouldn't own it otherwise), it is stupid how Apple has put all these superficial restrictions on it (no USB port, no Flash, etc)

@MultiGamingTube Haha you're a funny person because you think Ipad is such a great device and stuff and you dont realise its only a Ipod touch with a big screen. Haa hhaaaa ... haa, you funny persons :)

It sucks because it doesnt print, doesnt support flash, Has no USB and doesnt have a camera and costs a boat load....however the nice thing is that it doesnt slow down like pc's

@MultiGamingTube Hey I am poor and not ipad hater!

[MultiGamingTube]

I hve an ipad. And I know a few people that hate the iPad, cuz... They don't have enough money for it. Ipad hater=poor people

[themike2048]

Only reason people hate the iPad is because they can't afford it. I'm 100% that who ever HAS an iPad won't say they hate it. Comment written on an iPad 2

@wierdpoplol Trust me. The iPad is more then just a big iPod touch. I own both an iPod touch and an iPad and I can tell you that the extra screen real estate makes all the difference. Its like comparing a Cessna to an Airbus. And Adobe killed flash last month. No one was using it on tablets or phones and everyone (including Adobe) agrees that HTML5 is better.

[vistarox]

@vargulf19 It does have a camera, Adobe killed mobile flash (HTML5 is better), it has better hardware then most tablets and it multitasks. WTF are you talking about.

@wierdpoplol Yeah, it's funny because I usually just bring my laptop and they'll be sitting there playing angry birds and go "Yeah isn't this game awesome too bad you don't have it" Then i'll play a game like team fortress 2 or battlefield 3 and they'll just frown.
