MacMost: Making the most of your Mac, iPhone, iPod, and Apple TV.

With so much hype built up around the iPad before its launch, it is not surprising that the device couldn’t live up to it. Many Apple fanboys turned against their favorite company this week, complaining that the iPad doesn’t live up to their expectations. Specifically, many wish it had a camera, multitasking, longer battery life, and support for Adobe Flash.
Other articles are pushing back against this backlash, pointing out how the iPhone was a success and it didn’t have a ready-to-go App Store like the iPad will have at launch.
A pair of updates came out this week for iTunes and the iPhone OS. iTunes 9.0.3 fixes a bug where iTunes forgets what you specify for “remember password for purchases.” It also reportedly fixes bugs having to do with smart playlists and podcasts. The iPhone OS update, version 3.1.3 improves battery reporting and fixes a number of bugs and security issues.

    This article makes no sense?

    And do “many wish it had a camera, multitasking, longer battery life, and no support for Adobe Flash”?

    Why would many wish for “no support for Adobe Flash”…?
    Makes no sense at all…

    • Or, it could have been a simple typing mistake. I’ll run down to the copy editing floor of the MacMost Tower and see which editorial department was responsible for the error. In the meantime, I’ll remove the “no.”
