So know I have to reconsider using this design because so many use apple...
i personally originally purchased it because my girl wanted it. now i use it everyday. the reason why i like it so much, is because of its ease of use, the apps, the quality that its built and the support apple gives.

I know a lot of people who have other tablets, xoom, hp etc. I have utilized them all. As I know android has just as many if not more apps that apple has. I feel the actual devices them selves arent made of the same quality. A lot of them seam very 'plasticy' when the ipad is metal and glass. The screen cracked one time and I went to apple and they gave me a brand new one for nothing. They said they only will do it once, but next time I will just go to a different store. I have friends who have done this over and over with cracked screens and never paid for a new one. This will not be the same case with other vendors. Where are you going to take your Acer? To the Acer store? I understand the flash argument. At this point. I think flash is not used as much as it once was in web site development, and any site that is big enough either has a version for the ipad or an App because they have too. I would suggest lilcandycash or whoever to make an ipad friendly version or they are sure to lose traffic. A good % of traffic these days is mobile traffic. and the fact of the matter is, iphones and ipads are huge. The websites have to conform with the device and OS. Not the other way around. Apple is big enough where it does not have to conform to the flash experience and no one will miss out because people make for it. This is just the reality
