The problem is Flash. I use Flash in a lot of my sites. The iPad market is marginal at best, not worth the effort for me at this time. I will wait for a new tablet using open source and build for that at some future date. Jobs stuck his foot in it shutting Flash out, just what kind of security problems is Flash going to cause for a tablet that doesn't have a harddrive and isn't going to be used as a computer.

The Apple thing seems to be restricted to a niche that apparently likes being told what to accept and willing to pay top dollar for the privilege.
