So far it has been a very positive experience in many ways (listening to music and playing a few games), but I have encountered some MAJOR negatives for me. I knew Flash was missing from it (see the blank at the top of my web site http://www.lichens.ie), but I did not realise that Flash was used on the web so much! I cannot listen to BBC radio as they use Flash in their player! What a bummer. What is really going on with Apple re this Flash. I use a web site that puts data onto Flash maps and now they don’t show on the iPAD either. My other gripe is the TOTAL lack of quality books on the Irish iBooks site. There are lots of public domain stuff, but I want to buy some science books – but NOTHING exists… just a rubbish biology book for 1909! Also pdf files work painfully slow on the iPAD. Sometimes I though they would not load or the page was not going to turn (I’m using the 64 gig version). The computer press in Ireland should get past the sexy interface and look at real issues like this. My advice is – really think about what is important on the iPAD for you before you buy…. and… an Irish iPAD experience is NOT the same a a USA one. Cheers, Paul.

That's really important for me. Regards, Mary Well, that’s not surprising for me. iBooks is an amazing app especially I like that its recent update include PDF support.
