People have been saying flash is dead for the last 5 years. If not 10 years.
Don't get me wrong, I hate flash, think it will die eventually, and wouldn't build anything on it.
But I also hate kneejerk decisions based on a tiny amount of data.
The article is definitely worth considering if your users are the type that buy iPads, but I find it incredibly hard to believe that the iPad will go 'mainstream'. It's still a niche luxury 'extra' device.
People aren't replacing their laptops with an iPad. That would be insane. They're just buying an iPad as well.
- Poiesis 16y agoCall me insane then. I bought an iPad instead of a laptop, which is slightly different from what you said. Why? It's a family computer. Great for kids. Portable.

- danilocampos 16y agoIf it were really an extra device, though, why is it impacting Best Buy's laptop sales? I'm thrilled to take one on vacation in six weeks instead of my laptop. It's perfect for travel.
