And on the second day I said let there be Flash! But no one was listening...
Though I some how managed to avoid this well-know deficit of the iPad the entire first day... On day 2 I managed to stumble upon 3 different sites that used flash to display their core content (as apposed to ad content). All 3 were house plan sites for research I was doing on the subject. In all cases the sites were unusable.
Disappointing but not the end of the world.
Note Taking:
The search continues.
Noterize:
This is most of what I am looking for in a note-taking app. Off line note taking, free hand and typed notes, annotation of existing pdf, txt and images & dropbox support.
It lacks seamless dropbox syncing and .doc markup. You can import documents for markup and share them back to dropbox but this is a manual process.
Springpad:
I've used the Springpad note/to-do service for a while now. Its a well thought out service with some good features but lacks an offline mode. Their iPad app works well enough.
Other thoughts:
Still impressed with the battery life, portability and typing in widescreen mode. Tried several games; Worms 2, Zombieville USA, Plants vs Zombies... Though I enjoy iPad gaming more than playing on my old iPhone. The iOS platform is still "gaming light" to me, maybe a step above time killer games. I can't conceive of a situation where I would choose to game on an iPad if I had an Xbox or PC available.
Then again it's portability makes it likely that the iPad IS available when other options aren't.
