I was looking at the ipad at the apple store, but half the sites I tried to visit had problems displaying correct (aka no flash) then I looked at the samsung and found it not bad at all... what are your thoughts...

// and basically they cost the same...

to be honest - I don't miss flash on most sites, but if you encounter flash a lot on sites you visit every day the iPad might not be the tool of choice for you.

I can remember maybe 1 time in the past where it was an issue.

I'd send them an email explaining that requiring proprietary web plugins is poor web design. :lol:

Not good from an accessibility standpoint either for blind people.

I've read on several review sites (just for fun) that the only tablet that performs as well as a desktop for flash is the RIM Playbook.

you might still give a look to the notionink Adam, that I was looking forward to before I finally had too much of waiting and bought the ipad2...
