Adobe and Apple scrap over Apple banning Adobe Flash from the iPad. Apple claims “technical reasons” but really they just want to control the desktop. Adobe claims “access to all content” but they just want to control the desktop.
I’m sympathetic to Adobe’s point however. The iPad is useful to me as a Kindle book reader and as a portable web browser. A significant percent of websites present their content with Flash. So I regularly hit sites on the iPad that don’t behave or look right. Apple’s decision reduces the utility of their device to me, and billions, of people.
I have an iPad, but I’m pretty sure it will be relegated to the unused heap once DroidPad comes along.
I’m pretty sure Apple will rescind this decision after market forces smack them upside their smug turtleneck wearing heads.

There are two kinds – wifi enabled (what I have) and 3G. Wifi just uses any wifi. I have a Verizon MIFI that hotspots for 6 devices. 3G would require a 3G dataplan, from AT&T only (like theiPhone).
