   iPad does not and will not support Java… there will be no Java runtime on the iPad.

   Also, the iPad will not run Flash.
   Apple and Adobe are actually trading blows since Apple announced that Flash was not good enough to be on the iPad.

   The iPad doesn’t (and most likely never will) support either Flash OR Java. Apple and Adobe are rivals now simply because Apple doesn’t want Flash wasting battery or power, while Adobe says that most of the web uses flash.

   Adobe’s correct, but many companies are changing their websites so that they don’t use Flash so that they can support the iPhone or iPad. Additionally, these companies are launching apps so that they can still reach their customers that use the iPad.

   So if you were to get an iPad, a lot of content on the Internet wouldn’t work, but in a few years that should all change. I hope this helps!

   iPad does support Java Script and HTML 5. Google and Microsoft recently stated that HTML5 is the future. Even currently , almost all the reputed and known websites like NY Times,MSNBC.com,Ntional Geographic Channel and many thousand more stream video to iPad.

   You can watch full length movies and full episodes of TV shows on iPad for free without a problem.Watching on iPad is much better than computer because on computer , you get lot of add banners, annoying commercials and pop ups but on iPad you get only movies.

   I have MacBook pro, iMac,iPhone 3G S and iPad. After getting iPad , I stopp using my MacBook Pro because I can do almost all my office work on iPad it has iWork which is Mac version of MS Office. If the work is very complicated then I access my home computer iMac or office computer IBM by my iPad anode get the work done.

   I even have SAP running on my iPad which is incredible.I watch movies and tv shows online on iPad so don’t believe people who say website won’t work on iPad. It’s a complete lie.
   Lot of people talk about devices without trying them. I own iPad and almost all the new gadgets, I know iPad can play video from almost all the sites.

   You don’t require Flash to play video anymore.
   One of the morons wrote you can’t see ipads screen in sunlight but fact is you can easily see the screen and why would you be standing in the sunlight anyway?

   Ipads are not for those homeless people who who stand at the entry of freeway under scorching sunlight to get some donation.

   Hello friend!!
   Apple Ipad does not support Adobe flash player. This is one of the major disadvantages of Ipad.
   Also you cannot have a good view of the Ipad screen under sunlight.
   The Ipad, as of now, cannot replace the laptop. Right now, its just a link between a smart phone and a laptop.
   More about Ipad and all its features, You can read from my article whose url is given below.
