[QUOTE="Timshock, post: 1227577, member: 200076"] Just a big iPhone browser? No. In my experience, the iPhone tends to direct to mobile sites, while the iPad does not. The larger screen size makes browsing on the iPad a much better experience as well. If you thought it was just a slow MacBook Pro, you were either totally misinformed or simply did absolutely no research. There are a bunch of Android tablets out there, some of which support flash. That said, as a former Android user I can tell you that you will be grossly disappointed.One running the new 3.0 OS may be better, but it's still pretty untested. Flash works ok for video on Android, but it still leaves a lot to be desired for everything else. Flash based websites don't render well to touch devices. That combined with the horrible drain on your battery... I can access far more video and media content on my iOS devices than I ever could on Android. Maybe a new OS will come out that does better, but as of now nothing comes close to iOS for browsing. Your problem isn't the device or the OS, it's the fact that it doesn't meet the unrealistic expectations that you had for it. [/QUOTE]
