I highly recommend it. Though, in think this one will go back in exchange for a 3G model :-)
 
Tootsie, it is just a big iPhone or iPod but the screen is incredible and it beats lugging my laptop around and letting it burn my legs while I use it. Honestly, how many of us are "productive" with a laptop and how many of us just surf? I use my laptop daily designing halftime shows and working on music during the summer when I'm getting ready or marching band. Not so much during the rest of the year.

It is just a cool gadget I guess. I like the streaming Netflix though...
 
Jobs says Adobe Flash is unfit for iphone

NEW YORK (AP) — For iPhone users who've been wondering whether their devices will support Flash technology for Web video and games anytime soon, the answer is finally here, straight from Steve Jobs: No.

In a detailed offensive against the technology owned by Adobe Systems Inc., Apple's CEO wrote today that Flash has too many bugs, drains batteries too quickly and is too oriented to personal computers to work on the iPhone and iPad.

This is not the first time Jobs has publicly criticized Flash, but the statement was his clearest, most definitive — and longest — on the subject.

In his 1,685-word “Thoughts on Flash,” Jobs laid out his reasons for excluding Flash — the most widely used vehicle for videos and games on the Internet — from Apple's blockbuster handheld devices.

He cited “reliability, security and performance,” and the fact that Flash was designed “for PCs using mice, not for touch screens using fingers” as some of the reasons Apple will continue to keep the program off its devices.

But he said the most important reason is Flash puts a third party between Apple and software developers. In other words, developers can take advantage of improvements from Apple only if Adobe upgrades its own software, Jobs wrote.

Adobe representatives did not have an immediate comment today.
