Censoring all rich media content across the web? Lot's of excuses it all just fall in the same category... You buy a piece of high-end hardware with no total control of it on what content you want to see and what you don't want to. Can't they give that decision to the users? Users pay for it. iPad: No total user freedom!

There's no point in arguing about flsah/HTML5 etc etc because the reasons are commercial ; at the end of the day Apple have done phenomenally well from the iphone app store and hope to repeat with the ipad. Lets face it they are not a charity…. wake up and smell the coffee...

I've recently switched internet browser from Google Chrome to Microsoft Internet Explorer 5. After the change I seem to have a problem with loading sites that have Microsoft Silverlight. Every time I go on a site that needs Microsoft Silverlight, my browser doesn't load and I get a "npctrl.dll" error. I can't seem to find out how to fix it. Any aid getting Microsoft Silverlight to function is very appreciated! Thanks Hey, I came across this article while searching for help with Microsoft Silverlight.

What a joke. Apple can only succeed at failing now. HTML5 will never provide the cross-browser consistency of Flash, but who knows, it may ultimately become the ideal advertising medium, because YOU CAN'T TURN IT OFF!!! This is foolish move on Apple's part, not only because it limits user choice/experience, but because Adobe's design software is damn near the only thing that Macs are used for. All Adobe has to do is stop supporting the Mac platform, and it will vanish, leaving Apple with nothing but it's substandard, overpriced iGarbage. Bye bye Apple!

Since when does a company forces me to see only what they want me to see? I want to browse millions of flash-containing sites, I want to see everything there is to see.

You can turn Plugins on and off already on the iPhone so you wouldn't see Flash even if it was available already if you choose not to. I, like you, want to control what goes into my device and I would love for Apple to let me choose and not force a decision which I might or might not agree with.

All the sites I visit most offer iPhone friendly video. There has been so much publicity about 'flash on the iPhone / iPad' that by the time the iPad comes out, there will barely be a site left without iPad friendly video. Whatever business and commercial motives Apple have for doing this, getting rid of battery draining flash is a good thing. Bye bye flash. The world is moving on without you. In a short while, few will care. I absolutely do not care about flash and I absolutely DO NOT want flash anywhere near my iPad or iPhone. All the sites I visit most offer iPhone friendly video.

Unless iPhone supports Flash I am going with a smartphone that does. I have had the iPhone since it launch in 2007 and I am ready for an upgrade.
