What is quite interesting is that you are quick to knock Apple for the way it handles applications submitted to the App Store, crying about a Huxley/Orwelian future blah, blah.. Yet you are quick to defend Adobe and it's software that at one time was responsible for the vast majority of web content. Funny how Apple's attempt at opening up web content technology (a result of the poor performance of Adobes software) - is completely ignored.

So a few apps that were a subset of the Google app... And of course there were a lot of politics involved here, with Apple, AT&T & Google.

Wrong on both counts, I'm afraid. I haven't been defending Adobe - merely posting up their arguments - neither have I been "crying about a Huxley/Orwelian future" - I simply posted up an interesting article and suggested that such hyperbolic arguments could be good to get a discussion going.
FYI: I've actually been ranting against Flash's proprietary technology for some time.
Oh, and your link doesn't work.

I think the server is being hammered right now.

partly resulting from reading this thread, when I got home I had a little look into this flash/mac thing.
I have noticed for a while that when I am looking at certain websites on my mac mini, the CPU is hammering away at 100% constantly.
I have installed a flash blocker on safari. Now the CPU is down at more sensible %s and the fan can have a rest.
I will see if it crashes less often from now on too. It doesn't do it much, but it will now and again if I've got loads of windows open.

I got a MacBook Pro last year, and recently got an apple tv - mainly to play an mp3 collection to multiple speakers in the house (I guess the video content will be good too). The idea of the apple tv was to avoid having a pc just to play media, and I'm pretty pleased with it. When the ipad comes out, the combination of the two will cover 90% of the uses we have for computers in the house. I'm expecting seamless operation and setup (because that's why you buy Apple).
While the tech isn't revolutionary, I think it will revolutionise home computing for non-tech audiences.

Wow, someone bought an Apple TV
(when I was on the lookout for a media box - the Apple tv wouldn't even support a standard PAL TV, unless it had component in; some 'tv'). Sorry, it's the worse thing Apple make. 720 res, small HD for the price, very little updates, won't play mkv, xvid, avi, divx, DVD isos. Only mp4 and quicktime h.264. Gets really fucking hot and the remote is too simple. Their first foray into locked-down 'appliances' and it didn't go so well... I hear it's good for playing music though, at that price it should be
Make sure you crack it for full enjoyment, then it's a decent bit of kit: http://www.appletvhacks.net/

A big draw for me was airport extreme/airtunes. I wanted multi room music, without multi-room cabling. Previously I'd been looking at the Marantz ZR6001, which has more functionality but tiny speakers (and about 3 times the cost). With ATV we can play our itunes library in the bedroom, controlled with an ipod touch/iphone/ipad.
What did you get in the end?
Which is why people will buy into this ecosystem. When people can get multi-room entertainment, rental downloads, HD films, internet access, access to all mp3's through tv/stereo, they can control it all from the little slate that sits on the bookshelf that powers up is 3 seconds (or their phone), it costs them 500 quid (appletv+ipad), and most importantly, works as soon as they plug it in, you have a whole new set of customers.
I'm a long time linux/unix user (that's one reason I moved to OSX), I've just bought a nexus one; I'm no an apple fanboy, but in my opinion, the iPad is the mini cooper/fiat 500 of home computing.

I do all that on my Xbox 360 which you can get for a lot less.
edit: Actually, I can't browse the web on 360.

You can run Citrix on the iPhone already. Screen is just smaller.

Have been dawding my way through the book 2666. Started it way back in October has a holiday novel. Dunno why I chose this great big lump of a novel, but every time I read it I think how much easier this would be if I had an e-reader like a Kindle or this iPad.
Trouble is I do most of my reading in the bath...
Oh well.

I reckon there maybe a few surprises by the time it comes out. I'm sure I've read separately somewhere that iPhone OS 4.0 will have support for multi-tasking.
I'm guessing that maybe they're not entirely sure what final features will be for that release and so are not announcing things that may or may not be supported.
