If everyone bought an iPad your company's product would die, not the iPad.

  Right, that's why i said, that we still have no complex Web UIs. The ipad wouldn't die for sure, but it's slowing down progress to better web applications if webbrowsers are slow (and i don't mean ipad in particular every browser that is sub par in performance). If browsers continue to perform that different and also continue to implement different features with different syntax, where will this lead? To web apps that are built for the slowest browser and the most minimal features available. The only way out of this dead end, that i see are web applications that are just browser specific (aka "The website was developed and tested with browser XXX. Please download XXX _here_ or continue on your own risk"). And both ways sound horrible to me. Look at some HTML5 "tech demos" and see what web apps could be capable of and then look at the web. We are still years behind and it will take several more years to have web sites that implement new features.

    Just shows what a shitty platform HTML is: one step forward, three steps back
